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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Big dynorphin is a neuroprotector scaffold against amyloid β-peptide aggregation and cell toxicity
(Elsevier, 2022)
Amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) misfolding into β-sheet structures triggers neurotoxicity inducing Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Molecules able to reduce or to impair Aβ aggregation are highly relevant as possible AD treatments since ...
The P. aeruginosa effector Tse5 forms membrane pores disrupting the membrane potential of intoxicated bacteria
