1.B.6.1.1
Weakly anion-selective OmpA porin.  Can exist in two distinct conductance states (Arora et al. 2000).  May function in the transport of phenylpropanoids (resveratrol, naringenin and rutin) (Zhou et al. 2014). Three membrane-bound folding intermediates of OmpA were discovered in folding studies with dioleoylphosphatidylcholine bilayers. A highly synchronized mechanism of secondary and tertiary structure formation, applicable to this and other β-barrel membrane proteins has been described (Kleinschmidt 2006).
