Abstract excerpt
P-Glycoprotein (P-gp) is an ATP-dependent drug pump that transports a broad range of compounds out of the cell. Cross-linking studies have shown that the drug-binding pocket is at the interface between the transmembrane (TM) domains and can simultaneously bind two different drug substrates. Here, we determined whether cysteine residues within the drug-binding pocket were accessible to the aqueous medium. Cysteine...
