This award supports research on the molecular mechanisms of nutrient transport in Escherichia coli, focusing on TonB-dependent outer-membrane proteins critical for bacterial physiology and antibiotic targeting.
Description
The project focuses on bacterial membrane transport mechanisms, especially TonB-dependent transporters. It aims to understand structural states in vivo and the role of lipopolysaccharides. Uses advanced spectroscopic techniques in intact bacteria.
