Abstract

For membrane transporters, substrate uptake and release reactions are major events during their transport cycles. Despite the functional importance of these events, it is difficult to identify their relevant structural intermediates because of the requirements of the experimental methods, which are to detect the timing of the formation and decay of intermediates and to detect the timing of substrate uptake and release. We report successfully achieving this for the light-driven Na
