Abstract excerpt
Tryptophan residues may play several roles in integral membrane proteins including direct interaction with substrates. In this work we studied the contribution of tryptophan residues to substrate binding in EmrE, a small multidrug transporter of Escherichia coli that extrudes various positively charged drugs across the plasma membrane in exchange with protons. Each of the four tryptophan residues was replaced by...
