This project aims to examine the interaction between acid-sensing proteins and their modulatory compounds. Animals, including humans, must sense changes in environmental acidity to successfully interact with the surrounding world. Expected outcomes of the project include a better understanding of which regions of these proteins detect acidity, and to develop new compounds that modulate the proteins’ function. This would advance our fundamental knowledge in the physiological process of acid sensing. This expects to provide significant benefits, by aiding the potential development of agrochemicals and pain-relieving medications that regulate acid-sensing protein function, resulting in economic benefit to Australia via these new products.

该项目旨在研究酸敏感蛋白及其调节化合物之间的相互作用。动物（包括人类）必须感知环境酸度的变化才能成功地与周围世界相互作用。该项目的预期成果包括更好地了解这些区域的哪些区域。蛋白质检测酸度，并开发调节蛋白质功能的新化合物，这将提高我们对酸感应生理过程的基础知识，从而有助于农用化学品和止痛药物的潜在开发。调节酸感应蛋白功能，通过这些新产品为澳大利亚带来经济利益。
