Molecular insights into alternating access mechanism of secondary active transporters from molecular dynamics simulations
Membrane transporters are specialized molecular machinery for selective, regulable, efficient, and more importantly, active transport of diverse chemical species, e.g., nutrients, reaction precursors and products, and chemicals transmitting signals, across the cellular membrane. As a major class of …

Computational study of the structure and function of membrane transport proteins
Transport of the nutrients across the cell membrane is regulated by membrane transport proteins which selectively and efficiently transports materials across the membrane. In the present work I focus on the family of membrane transporters the so called sugar porters in both their mammalian and …

Investigation of structural dynamics and the function of membrane proteins with computational techniques
… proteins, secondary active neurotransmitter transporters strictly couple the uphill transport of the substrate, with Na+and/or H+ ions. To achieve their functional role, these transporters undergo large-scale transition between outward-facing (OF) and inward-facing (IF) states, following the …

Non-Equilibrium Transport Across Liquid Membranes Using Coordination Cages
… bulk liquid membrane systems limits molecular transport efficiency to 50%, hindering widespread adoption. This thesis addresses this limitation by innovatively propelling compound transport away from equilibrium, utilizing light and chemical gradients. The first system investigates …
