Funded Activity Summary
Engineering of a novel export system for industrially important amino acids. This project aims to understand the gating mechanism of MscCG (a major amino acid exporter) and improve the amino acid production by designing a highly effective MscCG-like export system for selective membrane transport of industrially relevant amino acids. Amino acid production is one of the most promising global markets, driven by growing meat consumption in developing countries. The project aims to elucidate the three-dimensional structure of MscCG and identify important parts. In doing so, the project aims to design more efficient and economic amino acid production.Funded Activity Details
