Thursday, April 18, 2019 - 07:40 in Physics & Chemistry

An international team of researchers at Institute for Molecular Science in Japan and Max Planck Institute of Biophysics in Germany has revealed an ion transport mechanism of sodium/proton antiporter by simulating its motion. Based on the simulations, they have designed a faster transporter by making mutation on "gate" of the transporter.
