Main Points of the Paper

  • The rate of the transport system in intact cells by NEM follows apparent first-order kinetics
    • M-TDG reaction: KD=5x10-5 M
  • The rate of the transport system in cell-free fractions by NEM was similar to that in intact cells
  • Melibiose acts similarly to TDG in the NEM labelling, except that the affinity for the protein is lower

Materials and Methods Used

  • Parent Strain: ML308 (i-z+y+a+)
  • Membrane vesicle isolation
  • TDG protection
  • NEM labelling of LacY
