The maltose transporter maltoporin (Mr 49,913) spans the outer membrane of E. coli. It is comprised of 18 successive antiparallel Beta – strands arranged like the staves of a barrel to create a channel through the membrane. Beta -turns connect the strands on the periplasmic side of the membrane; loops connect the strands on the outer side. The N – and C – termini coincide with the ends of Beta – strands and are both on the periplasmic side.
A. Calculate the average number of residues per outside loop?
B. Given that the distance between C(alpha) of neighboring Beta – strands is 0.5 nm, what are the circumference and diameter of the Beta – barrel formed by the polypeptide backbone? Of course much of the interior of the barrel is occupied by side chains that narrow the channel and specify passage of only maltose and maltodextrins.
C. Given that the width and thickness of maltose are about 0.5 nm, what percent of the diameter would the channel for maltose transport need to occupy?

I really appreciate the work all your amazing writers do to ensure that my papers are always delivered on time and always of the highest quality. I was at a crossroads last semester and I almost dropped out of school because of the many issues that were bombarding but I am glad a friend referred me to you guys. You came up big for me and continue to do so. I just wish I knew about your services earlier.
