Alteration in mitochondrial transmembrane potential (ΔΨ(m)) is an important characteristic of cancer. The observation that the enhanced negative mitochondrial potential is prevalent in tumor cell phenotype provides a conceptual basis for development of mitochondrion-targeting therapeutic drugs and molecular imaging probes.

Multidrug resistance, especially multidrug efflux mechanisms that extrude structurally unrelated cytotoxic compounds from the cell by multidrug transporters, is a serious problem and one of the main reasons for the failure of therapeutic treatment of infections by pathogenic microorganisms as
Myocardial imaging for mitochondrial membrane potential.

Escherichia coli multidrug resistance protein E (EmrE) is a four transmembrane alpha-helix protein, and a member of the small multidrug resistance protein family that confers resistance to a broad range of quaternary cation compounds (QCC) via proton motive force. The

Glycine residues may play functional and structural roles in membrane proteins. In this work we studied the role of glycine residues in EmrE, a small multidrug transporter from Escherichia coli. EmrE extrudes various drugs across the plasma membrane in exchange
