P-gp (P-glycoprotein; ABCB1) protects us by transporting a broad range of structurally unrelated compounds out of the cell. Identifying the regions of P-gp that make up the drug-binding pocket is important for understanding the mechanism of transport. The common drug-binding pocket is at the interface between the transmembrane domains of the two homologous halves of P-gp. It has been shown in a previous study...
