Researchers from the Technical University of Denmark have developed a new workflow for characterizing the function of transporters using nanodiscs. The workflow combines cell-free protein synthesis and solid supported membrane-based electrophysiology, allowing for a direct functional assessment of transporter protein activity. The researchers validated this workflow by expressing and characterizing five diverse transporters. This new method offers a convenient and expedited way to assess transporter protein activity, with potential applications in medical and biotechnological research. [Extracted from the article]
