X-ray crystallography reveals molecular recognition mechanism for sugar binding in a melibiose transporter MelB
Guan and Hariharan report two crystal structures of melibiose transporter MelB in complex with substrate analogs, nitrophenyl-galactoside, and dodecyl-melibioside. Both structures revealed similar specific site for sugar recognition and resolved the cation-binding pocket, advancing the understanding...
