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

9806994罗森这是一个为期24个月的奖项提出的博士巴里罗森，韦恩州立大学和博士。研究细菌中Zn 2+和CD 2+转运蛋白的结构和机制。 罗森博士的实验室计划进行ATP酶活性表征的研究;蔡博士将进行Cys残基和假定转运蛋白跨膜区域基序（CPC）的定点诱变研究。 这是一个非常好的国际研究项目，罗森博士的实验室在这一研究领域有着丰富的经验。 他的台湾同行将在一个互补的领域与他一起进行这项研究。 本计画也提供一个机会，让美国研究生在台湾的科学家实验室工作。 这项研究是由美国国家科学基金会和台湾国家科学理事会共同支持的。

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.
