| Citation | Palmer is an outstanding Molecular Microbiologist who discovered and characterized the bacterial twin-arginine protein translocation (Tat) system that transports fully folded proteins of various sizes across the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane while retaining an ionic seal. Palmer, and her structural biology collaborators, have contributed more than anyone else to the unravelling of the molecular details of fascinating protein transport system that is a 'text book' piece of biochemistry and microbial physiology. Her discoveries have potential as therapeutic targets and she is actively pursuing this translational aspect. Palmer shows tremendous leadership, mentoring young investigators in her Division of Molecular Microbiology and participating in exemplary public engagement activities. |
