Purified porin OmpF from Escherichia coli outer membrane was chemically modified by acetylation and succinylation of amino groups and by amidation of the carboxyl groups. Native and chemically modified porins were incorporated into lipid bilayer membranes and the permeability properties of the pores were studied. Acetylation and succinylation of the porin trimers had almost no influence on the single channel conductance in the presence of small cations and anions and the cation selectivity remained essentially unchanged as compared with the native porin. Amidation had also only little influence on the single channel conductance and changed the pore conductance at maximum by less than 50%, whereas the cation selectivity of the porin is completely lost after amidation. The results suggest that the structure of the porin pore remains essentially unchanged after chemical modification of the pores and that their cation selectivity is caused by an excess of negatively charged groups inside the pore and/or on the surface of the protein. Furthermore, it seems very unlikely that the pore contains any positively charged group at neutral pH.
