Lactose permease in Escherichia mediates proton-substrate cotransport. The molecular mechanism of this process is not understood. We examined the effect of proton concentration on the binding of a substance analogue to the carrier. The dissociation constant of p-nitrophenyl-alpha-galactoside from the carrier was dependent on pH, with an apparent pKa of 9.7.
