1. Elucidating the molecular basis of Na+/H+ exchange
Abstract : Solute carrier (SLC) transporters are membrane transport proteins, which catalyse the movement of nutrients, ions, and drugs across cell membranes. Here, I will present our contribution to understanding the mechanism of the sodium/proton exchangers (NHE), belonging to the SLC9 family of membrane transporters. READ MORE

2. Structure, Mechanism, and Regulation of Sodium/Proton Exchangers
Abstract : Sodium/proton exchangers (NHEs) are secondary active transporters that are ubiquitously found in all kingdoms of life. They facilitate the exchange of protons for sodium ions or other inorganic ions across biological membranes, regulating pH, sodium levels, and osmotic pressure. READ MORE

3. Structural and functional studies of nutrient and drug uptake systems
Abstract : Orally ingested nutrients and drugs are selectively absorbed from our small intestines into the bloodstream through various membrane-integrated transporters. The present study focuses mainly on a specific absorption route, namely the proton dependent oligopeptide transporters (POTs). READ MORE
