Resistance-nodulation-division (RND) efflux pumps play a key role in inherent and evolved multidrug-resistance (MDR) in bacteria. AcrB is the prototypical member of the RND family and acts to recognise and export a wide range of chemically distinct molecules out of bacteria, conferring resistance to a variety of antibiotics. Although high resolution structures exist for AcrB, its conformational fluctuations and their putative role in function are largely unkn...
