Charge order in Magnetite. An LDA+$U$ study

open access: yes, 2004
The electronic structure of the monoclinic structure of Fe$_3$O$_4$ is studied using both the local density approximation (LDA) and the LDA+$U$. The LDA gives only a small charge disproportionation, thus excluding that the structural distortion should be

Meaningful Structural Descriptors from Charge Density

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, 2011
AbstractThis paper provides a short introduction to the basics of electron density investigations. The two predominant approaches for the modelling and various interpretations of electron density distributions are presented. Their potential translations into chemical concepts are explained.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Simulated Impacts of Thundercloud Charge Distributions on Sprite Halos Using a 3D Quasi-Electrostatic Field Model

open access: yesAtmosphere
Sprite halos are transient luminous phenomena in the lower ionosphere triggered by tropospheric lightning. The effect of removed charge distributions on sprite halos has not been sufficiently discussed.

The Effect of Local Structure and Non-uniformity on Decoherence-Free States of Charge Qubits

open access: yes, 2005
We analyze robustness of decoherence-free (DF) subspace in charge qubits when there are a local structure and non-uniformity that violate collective decoherence measurement condition.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Effects of the Inductive Charging on the Electrification and Lightning Discharges in Thunderstorms

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2016
A two-dimensional cloud model with electrification and lightning processes is used to investigate the role of inductive charge separation in thunderstorm clouds.

Large dependency of charge distribution in a tropical cyclone inner core upon aerosol number concentration

open access: yesProgress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2019
The impacts of aerosols on the charge distribution of hydrometeors and lightning flash density in a tropical cyclone (TC) were investigated using a meteorological model coupled with an explicit lightning model.

Charge Ordering in Half-Doped Manganites: Weak Charge Disproportion and Leading Mechanisms

open access: yes, 2010
The apparent contradiction between the recently observed weak charge disproportion and the traditional Mn$^{3+}$/Mn$^{4+}$ picture of the charge-orbital orders in half-doped manganites is resolved by a novel Wannier states analysis of the LDA$+U ...

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...
