Cation-chloride cotransporters (CCCs) NKCC1 and NKCC2 catalyze electroneutral symport of 1 Na<sup>+</sup>, 1 K<sup>+</sup>, and 2 Cl<sup>-</sup> across cell membranes. NKCC1 mediates trans-epithelial Cl<sup>-</sup> secretion and regulates excitability of some neurons and NKCC2 is critical to renal salt reabsorption. Both transporters are inhibited by the so-called loop diuretics including bumetanide, and these drugs are a mainstay for treating edema and hypertension. Here, our single-particle el ...[more]
