Lipid biomarkers reveal dominance of aerobic methanotrophy in a continental serpentinizing system [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Sources and sinks of methane within an advanced serpentinization-influenced system were investigated at the Coast Range Ophiolite Microbial Observatory (CROMO) in Lower Lake, California. Subsurface water-rock reactions at CROMO contribute to unique, high

Electrophysiological Properties from Computations at a Single Voltage: Testing Theory with Stochastic Simulations

Entropy, 2021
We use stochastic simulations to investigate the performance of two recently developed methods for calculating the free energy profiles of ion channels and their electrophysiological properties, such as current–voltage dependence and reversal potential ...
