Abstract excerpt
The prototypic multidrug (Mdr) transporter MdfA from Escherichia coli efflux chemically- dissimilar substrates in exchange for protons. Similar to other transporters, MdfA purportedly functions by alternating access of a central substrate binding pocket to either side of the membrane. Accordingly, MdfA should open at the cytoplasmic side and/or laterally toward the membrane to enable access of drugs into its...
