It was great fun collaborating with the groups of Ruben, Joe, Emad, David, John and Chris. To understand the mechanism of secondary membrane transporters, structures and kinetics are only a starting point; studies by smFRET and MD will provide info on the dynamics and energetics โ€” a molecular movie!
