The mitochondrial outer membrane contains numerous copies of a channel protein, VDAC, that is thought to be the main permeability pathway through this membrane for polar molecules and ions. Low-dose electron microscopy has been used to obtain images of two-dimensional crystals of this channel (produced by treating outer membranes from fungal mitochondria with phospholipase A 2 ) embedded in...
The average projected density of mitochondrial outer membrane channels has been obtained from electron microscopic images of unstained, frozen-hydrated two-dimensional crystals. The density map is consistent with the projection of hollow, thin-walled cylinders aligned normal to the membrane plane with a diameter of 3.8 +/- 0.1 nm. This diameter closely matches that of the largest β-barrel that can...
