Miller School Researcher Publishes Findings in a Nature Research Journal
H. Peter Larsson, Ph.D., associate professor of physiology and biophysics, has a paper titled "Strong Cooperativity Between Subunits in Voltage-Gated Proton Channels" in the January edition of Nature Structural & Molecular Biology. Larsson's paper was also displayed on the journal's Web site.
Larsson is conducting research that's shedding light on how voltage-gated proton channels function, as well as their role in triggering immune system responses.
"Proton channels are found in many cell types in the human body," Larsson explains. "They've been found in blood cells, and they're very important for the immune response in the blood cells. They're an essential part of how these blood cells kill bacteria.
