Abstract

Multidrug transporters are important and interesting molecular machines that extrude a wide variety of cytotoxic drugs from target cells. This review summarizes novel insights in the energetics and mechanisms of bacterial ATP-binding cassette multidrug transporters as well as recent advances connecting multidrug transport to ion and lipid translocation processes in other membrane proteins.

Keywords: ABC transporter; Bioenergetics; Multidrug transport; Transport mechanisms.
