Structural and functional studies of the xanthine transporter UapA and the boric acid transporter Bor1

2012-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The nucleobase/ascorbate transporters (NAT) are responsible for the uptake of nucleobases in all kingdoms of life, and for transportation of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in humans. Nucleobase analogues are often used as antimetabolites in the treatment of a range of diseases. A detailed understanding of nucleobase transport will increase understanding of the mechanism of action of these important proteins and facilit...
