We here describe the transporter classification (TC) system that provides a rational means of classifying all transmembrane transport systems found in living organisms. The availability of this system provides a framework for the use of bioinformatic technologies to answer fundamental questions about the functions, mechanisms, and evolutionary pathways taken for the appearance of these systems. Such advances are discussed.
我们在此描述转运体分类(TC)系统,该系统为分类生物体中发现的所有跨膜转运系统提供了一种合理的方法。该系统的可用性为利用生物信息学技术回答有关这些系统的功能、机制和出现的进化途径等基本问题提供了一个框架。本文将讨论这些进展。
