Structures of ABCG2 under turnover conditions reveal a key step in the drug transport mechanism

ABCG2 is a transporter contributing to multidrug resistance of cancer cells. Here, structures of human ABCG2 under turnover conditions reveal distinct conformational states, provide insight into the transport cycle and suggest a mechanism of discrimination between substrates and inhibitors.
