Abstract

Cation/proton antiporters (CPAs) regulate cells’ salt concentration and pH. Their malfunction is associated with a range of human pathologies, yet only a handful of CPA-targeting therapeutics are presently in clinical development. Here, we discuss how recently published mammalian protein structures and emerging computational technologies may help to bridge this gap.
