Difficult dance steps: Learning how membrane transporters move
Researchers have tried for decades to understand the undulations and gyrations that allow transport proteins to shuttle molecules from one side of a cell membrane to the other. Now scientists report that they have found a way to penetrate the mystery. They have worked out every step in the molecular dance that enables one such transporter to do its job.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/E3rsHbSLJrk" height="1" width="1"/>
