Deskripsi

Gram-negative bacteria can display intrinsic antibiotic resistance due to the action of tripartite efflux pumps, which include a H+/drug antiporter component. Here, the authors present a structure-function analysis of antiporter AcrB in intermediate states of the transport cycle, showing novel drug-binding sites and transport pathways.
