Summary
EmrE defunct PDB structures 1S7B and 2F2M, and any conclusions derived from these structures, have been retracted due to a software data inversion error (Ma, 2007; Chang, 2007). [More information is available at EcoGene: EG10629]. EmrE is a multidrug efflux protein with a broad substrate specificity. [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG10629].
