title: High-resolution electron diffraction of reconstituted PhoE porin.
abstract: PhoE porin has been reconstituted with phospholipid, forming large membrane patches. Electron diffraction shows that the reconstituted PhoE porin forms highly coherent crystalline arrays, giving structural information to a resolution of 3.4 A. The crystal form is of the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2, with unit cell dimensions a = 150 A and b = 129 A. Images of negatively stained PhoE crystalline patches show that there are four PhoE porin trimers in a unit cell.
