U.S.-Taiwan Cooperative Research: Mechanism of Soft metal P-type ATPases

这是一个为期24个月的奖项，由巴里·罗森博士，韦恩州立大学和博士。蔡健仁，台湾中山医学牙科学院，研究细菌中zn2 +和CD2+转运体的结构和机制。Rosen博士的实验室计划开展ATPases活性表征的研究；蔡博士将对Cys残基和基序（CPC）在假设转运体的跨膜区域的定点突变进行研究。这是一个非常好的国际研究项目，Rosen博士的实验室在这个研究领域有丰富的经验。他的台湾同行将在这项研究中与他一起在一个免费的领域工作。该项目还涉及INT的重点领域，为美国研究生提供在台湾对口科学家实验室工作的机会。​

9806994RosenThis is a 24-month award proposed by Dr. Barry Rosen, Wayne State University andDr. Kan-Jen Tsai, Chung Shan Medical and Dental College in Taiwan to study the structure and mechanism of Zn 2+ and CD2+ transporters in bacteria. Dr. Rosen's laboratory plans to carry out research on characterization of ATPases activity; Dr. Tsai will conduct a study on the site-directed mutagenesis of Cys residues and of a motif (CPC) in a membrane-spanning region of the putative transporters. This is a very good international research project in an area in which Dr. Rosen's laboratory has an extensive experience in this area of research. His Taiwan counterpart will work in a complimentary field with him on this study. This project also addresses an INT focus area of providing an opportunity for a U.S. graduate student to work in the counterpart scientist's laboratory in Taiwan. This study is jointly supported by the NSF and the National Science Council of Taiwan.
