1. Describe in detail how lipoproteins are secreted to the outer membrane. How is Sec system involved. What part do β-barrels play in the process? How does the process differ for lipoproteins attached to the periplasmic face of the inner membrane and the outer membrane (Figure 1).
2. Describe in detail the two hypothesis for LPS movement to the outer membrane.
3. Compare and contrast in detail secretion of outer membrane lipoproteins and LPS.
