The secondary structure of porin, maltoporin and OmpA protein reconstituted in lipid membranes is determined by Raman spectroscopy. The three proteins have similar structures consisting of 50 to 60% .beta.-strand, about 20% .beta.-turn, and less than 15% .alpha.-helix. Employing a method for structural prediction that accounts for amphipathic .beta.-strands, folding models are developed for porin and for the segment of OmpA protein incorporated into the membrane. In the model, the OmpA fragment consists of eight amphipathic membrane-spanning .beta.-strands that form a .beta.-barrel. Similarly, porin is folded into ten amphipathic membrane-spanning .beta.-strands that are located at the surface of the trimer towards the lipids and eight predominantly hydrophilic strands in the interior.
