A National Taiwan University (NTU) interdisciplinary research team, led by Prof. Chi-Kuang Sun and Prof. Tzung-Dau Wang, has unveiled a optical imaging technique that enables the reconstruction of an individual's historical blood glucose patterns—information that has long been beyond the reach of current medical technology.
Previous studies have solved the high-resolution structures of the dimeric band 3 transporter, but the ion transport mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated. This study solves several cryo-EM structures of band 3 in different conformations indicating that the ion transport mechanism involves the concerted movement of chloride and bicarbonate ions.
