Dear all,
Discover how pathogens detox by interactively exploring the bacterial
antibiotic efflux system protein TolC in PDBe's latest Quips tutorial.
http://pdbe.org/quips?story=TolC
In order to expel toxic chemicals from the cell, Gram negative bacteria
must export them across both the inner and outer membranes and the
periplasm in between them. In the latest installment of Quips, find out
how the TolC duct is built to convey these chemicals across the
periplasm and outer membrane, and how it prevents leakage back into the
periplasm.
If you have an interesting structure whose story you would like to tell
(with our help) in the form of a Quips tutorial, please contact us at
