Abstract excerpt
Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) proteins operate through the alternating access mechanism, where the ion-binding pocket is exposed in succession either to the extracellular or the intracellular face of the membrane. The archaeal NCX_Mj (Methanococcus jannaschii NCX) system was used to resolve the backbone dynamics in the inward-facing (IF) and outward-facing (OF) states by analyzing purified preparations of apo- and...
