Structural elements required for coupling ion and substrate transport in the neurotransmitter transporter homolog LeuT [Biochemistry]

The coupled transport of ions and substrates allows transporters to accumulate substrates using the energy of transmembrane ion gradients and electrical potentials. During transport, conformational changes that switch accessibility of substrate and ion binding sites from one side of the membrane to the other must be controlled so as to...
