Abstract excerpt
Drug efflux pumps such as MexAB-OprM from Pseudomonas aeruginosa confer resistance to a wide range of chemically different compounds. Within the tripartite assembly, the inner membrane protein MexB is mainly responsible for substrate recognition. Recently, considerable advances have been made in elucidating the drug efflux pathway through the large periplasmic domains of resistance-nodulation-division (RND)...
