Systematic Localization of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Escherichia coli</named-content> Membrane Proteins
ABSTRACT The molecular architecture and function of the Gram-negative bacterial cell envelope are dictated by protein composition and localization. Proteins that localize to the inner membranes (IM) and outer membranes (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria play critical and distinct roles in cellular physi...
