The conformational transition pathways of ATP-binding cassette transporter BtuCD revealed by targeted molecular dynamics simulation.

BtuCD is a member of the ATP-binding cassette transporters in Escherichia coli that imports vitamin B(12) into the cell by utilizing the energy of ATP hydrolysis. Crystal structures of BtuCD and its homologous protein HI1470/1 in various conformational states support the "alternating access&quo...
