Ross Dalbey studies how proteins are built into and moved across bacterial cell membranes, focusing especially on a membrane protein called YidC that helps insert other proteins into the membrane. This work aims to understand basic cell biology mechanisms that are also relevant to antibiotic development, since YidC and related pathways are specific to bacteria. The research combines biochemistry and structural biology approaches to trace how proteins fold and position themselves within membranes.
