Deskripsi

Bacterial ATP-binding cassette (ABC)-type efflux pumps are involved in the resistance of antibiotics and antimicrobial peptides. Here authors report the crystal structures and ATPase activity of the MacAB-like efflux pump from Streptococcus pneumonia and describe a putative substrate transport mechanism.
