Computing Substrate Selectivity in a Peptide Transporter.

ABSTRACT: The human proton-coupled peptide transporter 1 (PepT1) is responsible for the absorption of di- and tri-peptides from the diet and peptide-like drugs. In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Samsudin et al. (2016) use an integrated computational and experimental approach to provide new insights into understanding substrate selectivity of PepTSt, a prokaryotic homolog of the human PepT1.
