TY - GEN N2 - The assays developed in this thesis research also offer a path to address some remaining gaps in our knowledge such as substrate assisted gate closure and the substrate release mechanism. The mechanism elucidated in this thesis should also be applicable to human glutamate transporters since the residues identified as important in GltPh are conserved in humans and in their placement in the protein's quaternary structure.
