抄録

A negatively stained electron micrograph of regularly arranged porin proteins of Campylobacter jejuni on the isolated outer membrane of bacteria was analyzed in detail by the correlation averaging method using a computer-assisted program. The results showed that the porin of C. jejuni had a trimeric structure separated by about 10.4±0.15nm. In addition, the pores in the trimers were also separated by about 4.3±0.1nm.
