  1. Conditions can get rough in the micro- and nanoworld. To ensure that e.g. nutrients can still be optimally transported within cells, the #minuscule #transporters involved need to respond to the fluctuating environment.

  2. A follower, Sarah M, asked "Do the transporters calibrate how much shit is inside of you? Or does it empty your bowels during transport?" What a great question Sarah! Replicator stock has gotta come from somewhere. Besides, great in an 'emergency'. #StarfleetQnA #Transporters #MovingOn #SPO #LLAP

  3. "In a biological context, sucrose transport could constitute a novel element of plant saccharide-transporting machinery. Phylogenomic analyses of 164 Viridiplantae and 2993 Archaean, bacterial, fungal, and Metazoan aquaporins rationalized solute poly-selectivity in NIP3 sub-clade entries and suggested that they diversified from other sub-clades to acquire a unique specificity of saccharide #transporters"

  4. Excited to share our work on how ECF #transporters use ATP binding to charge a molecular spring and tune the #membrane shape to expel membrane-embedded substrate-binding proteins from the docking site into the membrane. #cryoEM #Biochemistry #MDsimulations rdcu.be/dhJvy

  5. It is expected to be a promising agent in the treatment of various ailments and diseases.

    Adenosine can be metabolized both externally and internally. Externally, an enzyme called adenosine deaminase is responsible for transforming adenosine into inosine. Additionally, a protein called equilibrative #nucleoside #transporters (ENTs) helps to bring the #extracellular activity of adenosine to an end.

  6. #introduction to the #academic #science we do:
    We are interested in developing and applying #computational tools and approaches to study #membrane proteins such as #ion channels and #transporters.
