The bacterial mechanosensitive channel MscM gates through concerted changes in its transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains

Nature Communications
The mechanosensitive channel of small conductance (MscS) is the founding member of the family of MscS-like channels, which share a structurally conserved core but feature additional structural elements that define their specific channel characteristics ...

A schistosome [beta] subunit remodels inactivation of a calcium channel _via_ an N-terminal polyacidic motif [PDF]

, 2010
The beta subunit of high voltage-activated Ca (Cav) channels targets the pore forming [alpha]~1~ subunit to the plasma membrane and defines the biophysical phenotype of the Cav channel complex. Cav channel inactivation following activation and opening is

Breaking the hydrophobicity of the MscL pore: insights into a charge-induced gating mechanism.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The mechanosensitive channel of large conductance (MscL) is a protein that responds to membrane tension by opening a transient pore during osmotic downshock.

Monolithic Oxidation Enables Ultrathin Vertically Graded Tantalum Oxide for Low‐Voltage, Low‐Variability Memristive Switching

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Monolithic UV‐ozone oxidation of Ta forms an ultrathin Ta2O5/TaOx bilayer enabling resistive switching with a vertical defect gradient. A stoichiometric surface layer over an oxygen‐deficient sublayer promotes localized filament nucleation near the top interface, enabling low‐voltage operation, and reduced cycle‐to‐cycle variability.

Interference between two modulators of N-type (CaV2.2) calcium channel gating demonstrates that ω-conotoxin GVIA disrupts open state gating

, 2010
N-type calcium channels play an important role in synaptic transmission and a drug that blocks these channels has become an important tool in controlling chronic pain. The development of new N-channel-targeted drugs is dependent on a better understanding
