A living microbial cell represents a system of high complexity, integration, and extreme order. All processes within that cell interconvert free energy through a multitude of interconnected metabolic reactions that help to maintain the cell in a state of low entropy, which is a characteristic of all living systems. The study of macromolecular interactions outside this cellular environment yields valuable...
FocA belongs to the pentameric FNT (formate‐nitrite transporter) superfamily of anion channels, translocating formate bidirectionally across the cytoplasmic membrane of Escherichia coli and other microorganisms. While the membrane‐integral core of FocA shares considerable amino acid sequence conservation with other FNT family members, the soluble cytoplasmic N‐terminal domain does not. To analyze...
