Abstract excerpt
Members of the ATP-binding cassette superfamily couple the energy from ATP hydrolysis to the active transport of substrates across the membrane. The maltose transporter, a well characterized model system, consists of a periplasmic maltose-binding protein (MBP) and a multisubunit membrane transporter, MalFGK(2). On the basis of the structure of the MBP-MalFGK(2) complex in an outward-facing conformation (Oldham,...
