P.96 right column 2nd paragraph: "[Investigators] compute the permeability of the E. coli outer
membrane to glucose as roughly 3µm/s (Table S1A). While permeability could be increased by expanding the pore diameter, this has been observed to increase sensitivity to toxins,
suggesting that porins also play a protective role for the cell
(primary source)." |
