Bacterial outer membrane protein molecule. Computer model showing a part of the secondary structure of a molecule of outer membrane protein A from Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. This protein is a porin found in the outer membranes of gram-negative bacteria like E. coli. Porins are beta barrel proteins that cross a cellular membrane and act as a pore through which molecules can diffuse
