Abstract excerpt
Eleven families of sodium/solute symporters are defined based on their degrees of sequence similarities, and the protein members of these families are characterized in terms of their solute and cation specificities, their sizes, their topological features, their evolutionary relationships, and their relative degrees and regions of sequence conservation. In some cases, particularly where site-specific mutagenesis...
