Outer membrane channels in Gram-negative bacteria are implicated in the influx of the latest generation of cephalosporins. We have measured the interaction strengths of ceftriaxone, cefpirome and ceftazidime in the two most abundant outer membrane porins of Escherichia coli, OmpF and OmpC, by both ion current fluctuations through single protein channels and fluorescence quenching. Statistical analysis of individual antibiotic entry events in membrane-incorporated porins yielded the kinetic rates and the equilibrium binding constant of each antibiotic–porin pair. Affinity constants were independently obtained by measuring the static quenching of inherent tryptophan fluorescence in the porins in the presence of the antibiotics. Through an empirical inner filter effect correction we have succeeded in measuring the chemical interaction of these strongly absorbing antibiotics, and obtained a qualitative agreement with conductance measurements. The interaction of all three antibiotics is smaller for OmpC than OmpF, and in the case of each porin the interaction strength series ceftriaxone > cefpirome > ceftazidime is maintained.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
