Research Interest
Our group works on transport proteins in plants and bacteria. Special aspects are currently ATP transporters in plant plasma- and endomembranes, and vacuolar located sugar- and dicarbonic-acid transporters. We wish to understand transporter functions on the biochemical level (e.g. mode of transport, substrate specificity) and also on the physiological level (implications of transporters for plant primary metabolism, development and adaptations).
