Abstract excerpt
The resistance-nodulation-cell division family multidrug transporter Acriflavine resistance protein B (AcrB) from Eschericha coli is an obligate homotrimer. Approximately, 45% of the inter-subunit interface is contributed by a protruding loop (also referred to as the thumb) and its corresponding binding tunnel in the neighboring subunit. In an earlier study, we have demonstrated that a single Pro to Gly mutation...
