Abstract
⺠Substitution of the eleven native Trps in the P-glycoprotein multidrug transporter. ⺠Several Trps at the membrane interface are critical for substrate polyspecificity. ⺠Trps in the coupling helices are important for interdomain communication. ⺠Single Trp mutants can be combined while maintaining drug polyspecificity. ⺠Multi-Trp mutant protein is fully active with reduced intrinsic fluorescence.
