Structural and functional characterization of protein–lipid interactions of the Salmonella typhimurium melibiose transporter MelB

Abstract Background Membrane lipids play critical roles in the structure and function of membrane-embedded transporters. Salmonella typhimurium MelB (MelBSt) is a symporter coupling melibiose translocation with a cation (Na+, Li+, or H+). We present an extensive study on the effects of specific phos...
