| Comments | "The OM is basically stapled to the underlying peptidoglycan by a lipoprotein called Lpp, murein lipoprotein, or Braun’s lipoprotein (Braun, 1975). The lipids attached to the amino terminus of this small protein (58 amino acids) embed it in the OM. Lpp is the most abundant protein in E. coli, more than 500,000 molecules per cell." See BNID 106194. For value of ~480,000 (free form) per cell and 240,000 bound form see PMID 354502 p.493 3rd paragraph |
