Single-molecule conformational dynamics of viroporin ion channels regulated by lipid-protein interactions
(Elsevier, 2020-02)
Classic swine fever is a highly contagious and often fatal viral disease that is caused by the classical swine fever virus (CSFV). Protein p7 of CFSV is a prototype of viroporin, a family of small, highly hydrophobic ...
Efficient carbon dioxide hydrogenation to formic acid with buffering ionic liquids
(Springer Nature, 2021-01-11)
The efficient transformation of CO2 into chemicals and fuels is a key challenge for the decarbonisation of the synthetic production chain. Formic acid (FA) represents the first product of CO2 hydrogenation and can be a ...
Specific adsorption of trivalent cations in biological nanopores determines conductance dynamics and reverses ionic selectivity
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-12-11)
Adsorption processes are central to ionic transport in industrial and biological membrane systems. Multivalent cations modulate the conductive properties of nanofluidic devices through interactions with charged surfaces ...
Terahertz emission increase in GaAs films exhibiting structural defects grown on Si (100) substrates using a two-layered LTG-GaAs buffer system
(American Statistical AssociationInternational Biometrics SocietySpringer Verlag, 2021-04-22)
Terahertz (THz) emission increase is observed for GaAs thin films that exhibit structural defects. The GaAs epilayers are grown by molecular beam epitaxy on exactly oriented Si (100) substrates at three different temperatures ...
Self-supported ultra-active NiO-based electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction by solution combustion
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-04-20)
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a fundamental process to develop a technology that can drive energy transition towards renewable and sustainable fuels. Nevertheless, efficient and straightforward methodologies to ...
Effect of heteroepitaxial growth on LT-GaAs: ultrafast optical properties
(IOP Publishing, 2021-06-16)
Epitaxial low temperature grown GaAs (LT-GaAs) on silicon (LT-GaAs/Si) has the potential for terahertz (THz) photoconductive antenna applications. However, crystalline, optical and electrical properties of heteroepitaxial ...
Charged Biological Membranes Repel Large Neutral Molecules by Surface Dielectrophoresis and Counterion Pressure
(American Chemical Society, 2024-01-16)
Macromolecular crowding is the usual condition of cells. The implications of the crowded cellular environment for protein stability and folding, protein-protein interactions, and intracellular transport drive a growing ...
Hopf bifurcations in electrochemical, neuronal, and semiconductor systems analysis by impedance spectroscopy
(American Institute of Physics, 2022-03-16)
Spontaneous oscillations in a variety of systems, including neurons, electrochemical, and semiconductor devices, occur as a consequence of Hopf bifurcation in which the system makes a sudden transition to an unstable ...
Biphasic concentration patterns in ionic transport under nanoconfinement revealed in steady-state and time-dependent properties
(American Institute of Physics, 2023-02-08)
Ion permeation across nanoscopic structures differs considerably from microfluidics because of strong steric constraints, transformed solvent properties, and charge-regulation effects revealed mostly in diluted solutions. ...
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 ...
