Illustration of the secondary structure of the CymA outer membrane protein from a Klebsiella oxytoca bacterium. This is a type of porin, a beta barrel protein that crosses the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacterium and acts as a pore through which molecules can diffuse. CymA specifically facilitates the movement of the cyclodextrin oligosaccharides, used as an energy source by the bacterium, across the membrane. | |
