Biomembranes define the boundary of cells and organelles and are essential for maintaining metabolic homeostasis, on which the membrane proteins perform a series of dynamic biological events like environmental sensing, cell communication, signal transduction, ion conduction, and nutrient uptake. Among these membrane proteins, transporters and channels play essential roles in the substrate permeation across the biomembranes and are vital for current drug discovery. Therefore, scientists have pursued the structural investigation of transporters and channels for decades. However, due to the highly
