Localized shear generates three-dimensional transport

open access: yes, 2017
Understanding the mechanisms that control three-dimensional (3D) fluid transport is central to many processes including mixing, chemical reaction and biological activity.

Protonophore activity of short‐chain fatty acids induces their intracellular accumulation and acidification

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The protonated form of butyrate, as well as other short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), is membrane permeable. In acidic extracellular environments, this can lead to intracellular accumulation of SCFAs and cytosolic acidification. This phenomenon will be particularly relevant in acidic environments such as the large intestine or tumor microenvironments ...

A physical derivation of high-flux ion transport in biological channel via quantum ion coherence

open access: yesNature Communications
Biological ion channels usually conduct the high-flux transport of 107 ~ 108 ions·s− 1; however, the underlying mechanism is still lacking. Here, by applying the KcsA potassium channel as a typical example, and performing multitimescale molecular ...

Scaling theory of transport in complex networks

open access: yes, 2007
Transport is an important function in many network systems and understanding its behavior on biological, social, and technological networks is crucial for a wide range of applications.

A stepwise emergence of evolution in the RNA world

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How did biological evolution emerge from chemical reactions? This perspective proposes a gradual scenario of self‐organization among RNA molecules, where catalytic feedback on random mixtures plays the central role. Short oligomers cross‐ligate, and self‐assembly enables heritable variations. An event of template‐externalization marks the transition to

Ecological aspects of using biological diesel oil in railway transport [PDF]

open access: yesTransport, 2008
The number of various transport facilities used in Europe is rapidly growing. They release a big amount of pollutants into the atmosphere. Therefore, environment protection from these pollutants ejected by internal combustion engines is a key problem ...

Confined gas transport in low-dimensional materials

open access: yesInternational Journal of Smart and Nano Materials
Gas transport under confinement exhibits a plethora of physical and chemical phenomena that differ from those observed in bulk media, owing to the deviations of continuum description at the molecular level.

The particle in the spider's web: transport through biological hydrogels.

open access: yesNanoscale, 2017
Biological hydrogels such as mucus, extracellular matrix, biofilms, and the nuclear pore have diverse functions and compositions, but all act as selectively permeable barriers to the diffusion of particles.

Towards a model of non-equilibrium binding of a metal ion in a biological system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We have used a systems biology approach to address the hitherto insoluble problem of the quantitative analysis of non-equilibrium binding of aqueous metal ions by competitive ligands in heterogeneous media.

Long-Lived Electronic Coherence in Dissipative Exciton-Dynamics of Light-Harvesting Complexes

open access: yes, 2012
The observed prevalence of oscillatory signals in the spectroscopy of biological light-harvesting complexes at ambient temperatures has led to a search for mechanisms supporting coherent transport through larger molecules in noisy environments.
