Primary citation	Dutzler, R.,Wang, Y.F.,Rizkallah, P.J.,Rosenbusch, J.P.,Schirmer, T. Crystal structures of various maltooligosaccharides bound to maltoporin reveal a specific sugar translocation pathway. Structure, 4:127-134, 1996 Cited by PubMed Abstract: Maltoporin (which is encoded by the lamB gene) facilitates the translocation of maltodextrins across the outer membrane of E. coli. In particular, it is indispensable for the transport of long maltooligosaccharides, as these do not pass through non-specific porins. An understanding of this intriguing capability requires elucidation of the structural basis. PubMed: 8805519 DOI: 10.1016/S0969-2126(96)00016-0 PDB entries with the same primary citation
