1,041,328 | This then allows the A domain to rotate toward the phosphorylation site, making a firm association with both the P and the N domains. This movement of the A domain exerts a downward push on M3-M4 and a drag on M1-M2, forcing the pump to open at the luminal side and forming the EP state. During this transition, the tran... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=14655680 | 1,040,785 |
