Analysis of site-directed mutants in OmpF residues that were previously implicated in voltage gating, based on electrostatic interactions involving the transverse loop and the ß barrel. The results show that alterations in permeability do not involve physical displacement of the L3 loop, as previously theorized. It is regrettable, however, that assays of natural solute permeability were not performed.

J Mol Biol 1996, 259:666-678. This work constitutes the most careful and rigorous existing study of maltose and maltodextrin binding at a site inside wild-type and mutant maltoporins. The authors profit from an experimental obstacle, increased noise of current measurements that occurs when sugars occupy the pore, to determine the thermodynamic and kinetic constants that describe the binding of sugars within the maltoporin channel.
