TRAP-LABS, the green branch of
A Danish National Research Foundation Centre of Excellence

The Transport Physiology Laboratories (TRAP-labs) are focused on studying pump proteins in the biological membranes of higher plants. We are investigating the structure, function and regulation of pumps at the molecular, cellular and whole plant level. We use a combination of tools derived from molecular genetics, biochemistry, structural biology and physiology.

We host the P-type ATPase database (patbase).
