• may be involved in the protection of bacteria against various forms of environmental stress. The structure forms an 8-stranded beta-barrel with a long and narrow hydrophobic channel that contains a bound n-dodecyl-N,N-dimethylamine-N-oxide detergent molecule. Single channel conductance experiments show that it functions as an ion channel in planar lipid bilayers
