Abstract:Membrane proteins play critical roles in disease and in the disposition of many pharmaceuticals. A prime example is P-glycoprotein (Pgp) which moves a diverse range of drugs across membranes and out of the cell before a therapeutic payload can be delivered. Conventional structural biology methods have provided a valuable framework for comprehending the complex conformational changes underlying Pgp function, which also includes ATPase activity, but the lack of real-time information hinders understanding.
