Structural studies of a bacterial dicarboxylate transporter

Lead Institution

Principal Investigator
Da-Neng Wang
Human cells import citrate as an energy source through the sodium driven citrate transporter NaCT in the plasma membrane. A bacterial homolog of NaCT is the Vibro succinate transporter VcINDY. We aim…

Structures of secondary membrane transporters
