Elisabeth P. Carpenter is a British structural biologist who is a professor at the Nuffield Department of Medicine in Oxford. She solved the three-dimensional structure of human membrane proteins using X-ray crystallography. Carpenter uses X-ray crystallography to understand the atomic positions within proteins.

النشأة والتعليم

Carpenter studied biochemistry at the University of Cambridge from 1981 to 1985.[1] She moved to Birkbeck, University of London for doctoral research from 1985 to 1989, where she studied biochemistry and crystallography.[1][2] After completing her doctorate, Carpenter moved to the National Institute for Health Research, which was based at Imperial College London and solved the structures of proteins involved in DNA repair.[1][2] She also investigated toxoplasmosis and muste movement.[2]

السيرة

She established the Membrane Protein Laboratory at the Diamond Light Source in 2008.[2][3][4] Subsequently, from 2009 to 2020, she worked at the Structural Genomics Consortium at the University of Oxford[1][2][5] with a focus on human membrane proteins.[6][7]

البحث العلمي

Carpenter is interested in understanding the structure and function of proteins. She studies proteins embedded within cell membranes.[2] The proteins are large hydrophobic surfaces, and understanding their structure is an important step in unravelling the processes of molecules and signals across cell membranes.[2][8]

Carpenter was the first to describe the structure of the human ABC-transporter ABC10, a mitrochonridal protein that is important in the production of heme.[9][10][11] She has studied premature ageing syndromes that are caused by failure of the lamin proteins, and the role of the metalloprotease ZMPSTE24.[12][13][14][15] She has also studied human two-pore potassium channels (K2Ps), protein that gives rise to the background leak current that contributes to membrane potential.[16][17][18][19]
