Transport of Biologically Active Ultrashort Peptides Using POT and LAT Carriers
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 Ultrashort peptides (USPs), consisting of 2–7 amino-acid residues, are a group of signaling molecules that regulate gene expression and protein synthesis under normal conditions in various diseases and ageing. USPs serve as a basis for the development of drugs with a targeted mechanism of action.

A Computational Model for Tail Undulation and Fluid Transport in the Giant Larvacean
Fluids, 2021 Flexible propulsors are ubiquitous in aquatic and flying organisms and are of great interest for bioinspired engineering. However, many animal models, especially those found in the deep sea, remain inaccessible to direct observation in the laboratory. We

A novel delta current method for transport stoichiometry estimation. [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundThe ion transport stoichiometry (q) of electrogenic transporters is an important determinant of their function. q can be determined by the reversal potential (Erev) if the transporter under study is the only electrogenic transport mechanism or ...

Uncharted routes: exploring the relevance of auxin movement via plasmodesmata
Biology Open, 2020 Auxin is an endogenous small molecule with an incredibly large impact on growth and development in plants. Movement of auxin between cells, due to its negative charge at most physiological pHs, strongly relies on families of active transporters.
