Malaria kills over 600,000 people a year, and as the climate warms, the potential range of the disease is growing. While some drugs can effectively prevent and treat malaria, resistance to those drugs ...

To that end, the researchers have hijacked a natural transport system of the bacterium E. coli. This normally serves to transport short protein fragments, known as peptides, into the cell from the ...

Nivedita Pujari, a postdoctoral researcher at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, studies how herpes simplex virus uses ...

Citrate is essential for the metabolism and development of neurons. A membrane transport protein called SLC13A5 plays a central role in this process and has previously been linked to a particularly ...

Transport proteins are responsible for the ongoing movement of substrates into and out of a biological cell. However, it is difficult to determine which substrates a specific protein can transport.

Grapevine CCC protein (in two nearly orthogonal orientations) transports potassium (purple) and chloride (green) ions through the pore (black dots) in an electroneutral fashion. Researchers at the ...

Botanists have come to understand the channels and transporters involved in the uptake and transport of nutrients, yet how are they positioned where they need to be? For example, plants need boron, ...

A research team has revealed the molecular steps that led to the emergence of this plant-specific vacuolar transport system. Their work shows that the acquisition of this pathway was driven by the ...
