Membrane transport proteins are essential for maintaining cellular functions, and mutations in these proteins cause genetic diseases in humans. Dr. Zhou's lab applies structural, functional and computational methods to understand basic chemical and physical principles in membrane transport proteins: How substrates are recognized; what structural changes are required for substrate translocation; and how the electrochemical gradient of one substrate drives the concentrative uptake of another substrate.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Affiliations  Training Grants Houston Area Molecular Biophysics Training Program  Research Consortia GCC Cluster for Cellular and Molecular Biophysics  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Professor Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Baylor College of Medicine
