Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract FhuA, receptor for ferrichrome‐iron in Escherichia coli , is a member of a family of integral outer membrane proteins, which together with the energy transducing TonB–ExbB–ExbD complex of the cytoplasmic membrane, mediate active transport of siderophores, Vitamin B12, and heme across the outer membrane of gram‐negative bacteria. In addition to transporting ferrichrome, FhuA acts as the primary receptor for several bacteriophages, the antibiotics albomycin and rifamycin CGP 4832, the cyclic peptide antibiotic microcin J25, and the bacterial toxin, colicin M. FhuA is a β‐barrel composed of 22 antiparallel β‐strands. Located within the β‐barrel is a structurally distinct domain, the ’cork’, consisting mainly of a four‐stranded β‐sheet and four short α‐helices. The focus of this review is an analysis of the relationship between the three‐dimensional structure of FhuA and its biological function as an energy‐dependent outer membrane transporter.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
