This transporter has been historically used for studying the more complicated human homologues which are involved in the regularization of glutamate concentration in the synaptic cleft. The aim of part of my project, which then resulted in the recent publication on Nature Communications, was to prove the existence of the chloride channel in this transporter with SSM.\u00a0Furthermore, I studied the effects of a single-point mutation on the activity of the chloride channel.<\/p>\n<p>Find more information on Emanuela\u00b4s publication <a href=\"\/resource_library\/2023-mutation-in-glutamate-transporter-homologue-glttk-provides-insights-into-pathologic-mechanism-of-episodic-ataxia-6\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #77c2a1;\">&#8220;You have been using the SURFE<sup>2<\/sup>R N1 for your PhD project.

The high sensitivity for the detection of the current even at very low protein concentration has allowed me to screen many different conditions with a single proteoliposomes preparation. Thanks to a user-friendly interface and the possibility to run high throughput screenings, I was able to work independently right after the training and to have satisfying results immediately<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Can you tell us about your research project.&#038;#82 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11329,"template":"","news_categories":[528,422],"class_list":["post-11177","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news_categories-front-page-news","news_categories-interviews"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nanion.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/11177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nanion.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nanion.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nanion.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nanion.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"news_categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nanion.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_categories?post=11177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
