title: Simple, rapid, and quantitative release of periplasmic proteins by chloroform.
abstract: We introduce a method by which periplasmic proteins can be released rapidly, simply, and quantitatively by treating cells with chloroform. All the amino acid-binding proteins tested maintained their activity during chloroform treatment. This method makes practical the analysis of the periplasmic protein complement of a large number of strains.
