Multidrug efflux pumps: The structures of prokaryotic ATP‐binding cassette transporter efflux pumps and implications for our understanding of eukaryotic P‐glycoproteins and homologues

Abstract excerpt

One of the Holy Grails of ATP-binding cassette transporter research is a structural understanding of drug binding and transport in a eukaryotic multidrug resistance pump. These transporters are front-line mediators of drug resistance in cancers and represent an important therapeutic target in future chemotherapy. Although there has been intensive biochemical research into the human multidrug pumps, their 3D...
