Abstract excerpt
ATP-binding cassette transporters couple ATP hydrolysis to substrate translocation through an alternating access mechanism, but the nature of the conformational changes in a transport cycle remains elusive. Previously we reported the structure of the maltose transporter MalFGK(2) in an outward-facing conformation in which the transmembrane (TM) helices outline a substrate-binding pocket open toward the...
