Brief description Bacterial antibiotic resistance is mediated through specific biological molecules, so-called multidrug transporter proteins, which effectively export drugs from the cell. This proposal aims to solve the 3D structure of a multidrug resistance protein, NorM, which confers resistance to fluoroquinolone type drugs. Through this, we will provide detail into transport across the membrane of cells, and thus present a molecular understanding of bacterial antibiotic resistance.
