The Membrane Enzymology group focuses on the molecular mechanisms and regulation of solute transport across biological membranes. We integrate solute transport with metabolism for the construction of out-of-equilibrium reaction networks of autonomously growing synthetic cells. We probe the activities, dynamics and structures of membrane proteins, using e.g. advanced reconstitution technology, (single-molecule) optical microscopy, and cryo-electron microscopy.
