The ABC transporters have two membrane-spanning [domains] (MSD) and [two] dimeric ATP [adenosine triphosphate]-nucleotide-binding domains (NBD). The MSDs may show greater variations, depending on whether they operate as a pump or a conductance channel. The NBD subunits play the role of the engines of the transport and interact through their arm 1 with the two MSDs. 4, record 1, English, - ATP%2Dbinding%20cassette%20transporter

La structure canonique d'un transporteur ABC est composée de quatre domaines : deux domaines hydrophobes trans-membranaires (appelés MSD pour Membrane Spanning Domain) et deux domaines liant et hydrolysant l'ATP [adénosine triphosphate] (appelés NBD pour Nucleotide Binding Domain). Les MSD constituent le pore par lequel le substrat traverse la membrane et les NBD assurent son transport actif par hydrolyse d'ATP. 2, record 1, French, - transporteur%20%C3%A0%20cassette%20liant%20l%27ATP
