Deskripsi
Energy coupling factor (ECF) transporters are responsible for the uptake of micronutrients and consist of an integral membrane unit, the S-component, which confers substrate specificity. Here, authors present multi-scale molecular dynamics simulations and in vitro experiments to study the molecular toppling mechanism of the S-component of a folate-specific ECF transporter.
