Bacterial Membrane Transport Proteins

  • Chapter
Book cover The Enzymes of Biological Membranes

Abstract

Bacterial transport systems are historically associated with the acceptance of the idea that the crossing of the cell membrane by a physiologically significant solute was mediated by the specialized operation of a protein or an array of molecules including specific proteins. This idea was in opposition to the predominant-view of permeability, a membrane property, as the principal factor governing the passage of solutes.
