Research Interests
My research focuses on the structure and function of integral membrane proteins, with emphasis on inner membrane antiporters of the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) involved in multidrug efflux in Escherichia coli. For a review of MFS antiporters click here.
My laboratory utilises a comprehensive range of state-of-the-art techniques to answer important questions pertaining to the structure and mechanism of membrane transporter proteins. These include X-ray crystallography, fluorescence spectroscopy and transport assays using whole cells, inverted vesicles and purified protein reconstituted into proteoliposomes.
