Abstract excerpt
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an ABC (ATP-Binding Cassette) drug pump that is clinically important because it confers multidrug resistance. Drugs bind at the interface between the transmembrane domains to activate ATPase activity at the two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs). Drug transport involves ATP-dependent conformational changes between inward- (open, NBDs far apart) and outward-facing (closed, NBDs close...
