a

Au-BE denotes gold-binding epitope. PSM denotes in vitro polymer-supported membrane containing reconstituted BtuB and/or OmpF (see [12••] for experimental details).

b

BFM denotes bright-field microscopy. DICM denotes differential interference contrast microscopy. FM denotes fluorescence microscopy.

c

AF488, AF555, OG488 and TMR denote the following fluorescent dyes (respectively): Alexa Fluor 488, Alexa Fluor 555, Oregon Green 488 and tetramethyl rhodamine. S–S denotes disulphide top-lock in R-domain to prevent colicin translocation across the bacterial outer membrane.

d

Motion of colloidal gold was tracked for 5 min at 1 Hz. Immobile (20–50 nm displacement) and somewhat mobile (100–300 nm displacement) particles were observed in both the presence and absence of wild-type LamB.

e

Confinement diameter was estimated from the asymptotic MSD value at 10 s. This parameter was not reported in Ref. [14].

f

This exponent term (α) describes the non-linear scaling of the MSD in time, with α < 1 indicating anomalous subdiffusion and α = 1 indicating normal Brownian diffusion.
