Single-molecule dynamics reveal ATP binding alone powers substrate translocation by an ABC transporter - Nature Communications ATP-binding cassette transporters use ATP to move peptides across membranes, but how ATP binding drives transport is unclear. Here, authors visualize single transport events and show that ATP binding ...

A new publication from projects P18 and Z02 about single translocation events by individual ABC transporters is online. Congratulations to the authors! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We are extremely proud that Rana Hussein Ali, an associate member of our CRC, was awarded the L'Oréal UNESCO For Women in Science Prize yesterday night in Düsseldorf. Rana, we are over the moon, congratulations on this well-deserved recognition!

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Prof. Syma Khalid. PhD representatives of the IRTG board organised a week of talks & events. Syma shared her expertise in MD simulation, science communication & insights into her own research career. Thank you for such inspiring days! @sykhalid.bsky.social

Check out our ongoing event: The IRTG Professorship Week with Prof. Dr. Syma Khalid (University of Oxford) offers talks and events until this Friday. See poster for details.
