Abstract excerpt
Despite the usefulness of the patch-clamp technique, its application to ion pumps and transporters in biomembranes is limited. We developed a novel method for determining the activity of a proton-pumping pyrophosphatase (H(+)-PPase) made of a single protein. We heterologously highly expressed the enzyme in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, prepared giant vacuoles from the cells, and measured a PPi-dependent electrical...
