- Summary of Content: The purpose of the article is telling us that the two dimensional crystal structure of a membrane protein is the first step to have better understand how an E. Coli infection begins and new protein structure is a first step toward preventing E. Coli disease. E. Coli can produce one of the most prevalent diseases in the U.S., urinary tract infections. Understanding how an E. Coli infection begins is the fundamental key to block the disease. E. Coli binds to human kidney cells and use an "adhesive protein" secreted by the cells through a membrane protein "channel" which shows how secretion occurs and read to the scientist to prevent...
