Show abstract
Aminoglycosides are important clinical antibiotics but their molecular uptake mechanism is still not completely understood. Here we quantify and compare the passive transport of three aminoglycosides (kanamycin, gentamicin, and amikacin) across general or sugar specific porins of Escherichia coli (OmpF, OmpC, LamB and ChiP). Our analysis revealed that permeation of aminoglycosides (Kanamycin/Gentamycin/Amikacin) is about the same through ChiP ({approx}5/3/2 molecules/s), OmpF ({approx}10/15/<1 molecules/s) and OmpC ({approx}11/8/<1 molecules/s). In contrast, LamB of smaller pore diameter has no significant permeation ([≤]1/1/1 molecules/s, all values recalculated for a gradient of 10 {micro}M). Biological assays confirmed the relevance of these translocations for antibiotic potency.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
