α-Synuclein emerges as a potent regulator of VDAC-facilitated calcium transport
(Elsevier, 2021-02-02)
Voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is the most ubiquitous channel at the mitochondrial outer membrane, and is believed to be the pathway for calcium entering or leaving the mitochondria. Therefore, understanding the ...
A low temperature aqueous formate fuel cell using cobalt hexacyanoferrate as a non-noble metal oxidation catalyst
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-12-01)
Cobalt hexacyanoferrate, the Co–Fe Prussian blue derivative (CoFePB), is an effective, selective and stable electrocatalyst for formate oxidation, exhibiting robust performance under a variety of electrolyte conditions. ...
Characterization of Aerosol Deposited Cesium Lead Tribromide Perovskite Films on Interdigited ITO Electrodes
(John Wiley & Sons, 2021-01-15)
Aerosol deposition (AD) is a promising additive manufacturing method to fabricate low-cost, scalable films at room temperature, but has not been considered for semiconductor processing, so far. The successful preparation ...
Revealing the contribution of singlet oxygen in the photoelectrochemical oxidation of benzyl alcohol
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-02)
Photoelectrochemical approaches are finding use in the transformation of organic molecules beyond water oxidation and CO2 reduction. Among the different reactions that can be performed, the selective oxidation of alcohols ...
African Swine Fever Virus Gene B117L Encodes a Small Protein Endowed with Low-pH-Dependent Membrane Permeabilizing Activity
(American Society for Microbiology, 2023-05-22)
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is causing a devastating pandemic in domestic and wild swine in Central Europe to East Asia, resulting in economic losses for the swine industry. The virus contains a large double-stranded ...
The Cytoplasmic Domain of the SARS-CoV-2 Envelope Protein Assembles into a β-Sheet Bundle in Lipid Bilayers
(Elsevier, 2023-01-28)
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) envelope (E) protein forms a pentameric ion channel in the lipid membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) of the infected ...
Structural and functional insights into the delivery of a bacterial Rhs pore-forming toxin to the membrane
(Nature Research, 2023-11-28)
Bacterial competition is a significant driver of toxin polymorphism, which allows continual compensatory evolution between toxins and the resistance developed to overcome their activity. Bacterial Rearrangement hot spot ...
The AEROPILs Generation: novel poly(Ionic liquid)-based aerogels for CO2 capture
(MDPI, 2021)
CO2
levels in the atmosphere are increasing exponentially. The current climate change
effects motivate an urgent need for new and sustainable materials to capture CO2
. Porous materials
are particularly interesting for ...
Pencil graphite rods decorated with nickel and nickel-iron as low-cost oxygen evolution reaction electrodes
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021)
Society is demanding clean energy to substitute greatly polluting carbon-based fuels. As an alternative, the use of green hydrogen produced by electrocatalysis constitutes a nice strategy as its products and reactants are ...
Negative Transient Spikes in Halide Perovskites
(American Chemical Society, 2022-07-18)
The internal crossfire of ionic and electronic effects in perovskite devices forms a complex analysis problem that has not been fully solved yet. Specifically, halide photovoltaic perovskites show a photoinduced ionic ...
