The outer membrane contains numerous β-barrel proteins commonly called outer membrane proteins (OMPs), which serve essential functions in cargo transport and signaling and are also vital for membrane biogenesis. OMPs are synthesized in cytoplasm and will be transported to the periplasm by Sec translocon. In the periplasm chaperons (SurA, Skp, and DegP) guide the the OMPs to the BAM complex.

Introduction
BamB is the largest of four lipoproteins in the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) complex. The E. coli BAM complex consists of five subunits named BamA (88 kDa), BamB (40 kDa), BamC (34 kDa), BamD (26 kDa) and BamE (10 kDa).[1] ‘- ↑ Noinaj N, Fairman JW, Buchanan SK.
