Abstract excerpt
NarK nitrate/nitrite antiporter imports nitrate (a mineral form of the essential element nitrogen) into the cell and exports nitrite (a metabolite that can be toxic in high concentrations) out of the cell. However, many details about its operational mechanism remain poorly understood. In this work, we performed steered molecular dynamics simulations of anion translocations and quantum-chemistry model calculations...
