Structural Features Mediating Zinc Binding and Transfer in the AztABCD Zinc Transporter System

Many bacteria require ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters for the import of the essential metal zinc from limited environments. These systems rely on a periplasmic or cell-surface solute binding protein (SBP) to bind zinc with high affinity and specificity. AztABCD is one such zinc transport sys...
