Structural basis for gating mechanisms of a eukaryotic P-glycoprotein homolog.

abstract：:Supercritical fluids are a unique class of nonaqueous media in which biocatalytic reactions can occur. The physical properties of supercritical fluids, which include gas-like diffusivities and liquid-like densities, can be predictably controlled with changing pressure. This paper describes how adjustment of pressure, ...
