    In vitro reconstitution of dynamically interacting integral membrane subunits of energy-coupling factor transporters

    Inda Setyawati, Weronika K Stanek ... Dirk J Slotboom
    Integral membrane subunits of energy-coupling factor transporters associate with and dissociate from each other as part of the transport mechanism.

    The role of surface adhesion on the macroscopic wrinkling of biofilms

    Steffen Geisel, Eleonora Secchi, Jan Vermant
    The three-dimensional structure of bacterial biofilms is governed by a buckling-delamination process that is determined by basic physical parameter that allow us to predict and control the biofilm morphology.

    De novo macrocyclic peptides dissect energy coupling of a heterodimeric ABC transporter by multimode allosteric inhibition

    Erich Stefan, Richard Obexer ... Robert Tampé
    By random nonstandard peptide integrated discovery, combinatorial macrocyclic peptides were leavaged that target a heterodimeric ABC transport complex and explore fundamental principles of the substrate translocation cycle.

    Screening of candidate substrates and coupling ions of transporters by thermostability shift assays

    Homa Majd, Martin S King ... Edmund RS Kunji
    It is technically difficult to identify transport proteins, but here a method is presented that exploits the principle that they are stabilized in detergent solution when they bind their substrate.

    Nucleotide binding is the critical regulator of ABCG2 conformational transitions

    Zsuzsanna Gyöngy, Gábor Mocsár ... Katalin Goda
    The conformational switch of ABCG2 from the high substrate affinity inward-facing to a low substrate affinity outward-facing state is induced by nucleotide binding and accelerated by transported substrates.
