Abstract excerpt
The multidrug transporter permeability (P)-glycoprotein is an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette exporter responsible for clinical resistance to chemotherapy. P-glycoprotein extrudes toxic molecules and drugs from cells through ATP-powered conformational changes. Despite decades of effort, only the structures of the inward-facing conformation of P-glycoprotein are available. Here we present the...
