Throughout my PhD, I determined the transport mechanisms of two proteins that we show break the standard channel / transporter definitions and instead function as anion “chansporters” - proteins that exist somewhere on the spectrum between transporters and channels.

Membrane proteins play a vital role in numerous cellular processes, including ion transport, intercellular communication, and antibiotic resistance. Ensuring their accurate orientation within lipid bi...

Newton-Vesty et al. used a megabody fiducial to determine the cryo-EM structure of an isethionate TRAP transporter, revealing the substrate and Na+-binding sites. Transport is dependent on Na+ and the...

Cryo-electron microscopy analysis of the extracellular flagellum structure, including the hook–filament junction and filament cap complex, reveals mechanisms of flagellin incorporation into the growin...

Researchers have discovered a powerful “weapon” used by many disease-causing fungi to infect and destroy major food crop staples could offer new strategies to bolster global food security.

Plasmodium vivax is emerging as the most prevalent species causing malaria outside Africa. Most P. vivax infections are relapses due to the reactivation of the dormant liver stage parasites (hypnozoit...
