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. 000008957 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000008957 650__ $$aIons$$021017 000008957 650__ $$aMutagenesis$$029042 000008957 650__ $$aFluorescence$$019121 000008957 650__ $$aBiological Transport$$015568 000008957 650__ $$aBinding Sites$$015545 000008957 650__ $$aMolecular Conformation$$022385 000008957 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008957 692__ $$aDepartment of Physiology and Pharmacology$$041442 000008957 7001_ $$aRiederer, Erika A. 000008957 8564_ $$99e8590da-2003-4c68-aec9-d8e13d1fe329$$s10551100$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8957/files/Riederer.Erika.2021.pdf 000008957 905__ $$a/rest/prod/cz/30/pt/39/cz30pt397 000008957 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:8957$$pstudent-work 000008957 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
