The stipend will continue Sara's PhD studies with Magnus Kjærgaard and Poul Nissen. She will investigate the structural and mechanistic basis of unidirectional calcium transport through direct visualization by single-molecule FRET and FRET-guided crystallization of key intermediates, and she will establish techniques for simultaneously monitor single-molecule dynamics and transport activity to study how ion pumps are turned off when not needed.
