Abstract excerpt
The transporters for the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine (SERT and DAT, respectively) are targets for drugs used in the treatment of mental disorders and widely used drugs of abuse. Studies of prokaryotic homologues have advanced our structural understanding of SERT and DAT, but it still remains enigmatic whether the human transporters contain one or two high-affinity substrate binding sites. We have...
