Abstract excerpt
The staphylococcal multidrug exporter QacA confers resistance to a wide range of structurally dissimilar monovalent and bivalent cationic antimicrobial compounds. To understand the functional importance of transmembrane segment 10, which is thought to be involved in substrate binding, cysteine-scanning mutagenesis was performed in which 35 amino acid residues in the putative transmembrane helix and its flanking...
