The perception of word stress cues in Papuan Malay: A typological perspective and experimental investigation

open access: yesLaboratory Phonology, 2021
Analyses of word prosody have shown that in some Indonesian languages listeners do not make use of word stress cues. The outcomes have contributed to the conclusion that these languages do not have word stress.

The response of the tandem pore potassium channel TASK-3 (K2P9.1) to voltage : gating at the cytoplasmic mouth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Although the tandem pore potassium channel TASK-3 is thought to open and shut at its selectivity filter in response to changes of extracellular pH, it is currently unknown whether the channel also shows gating at its inner, cytoplasmic mouth through ...

Gating Ritual: Simulations of Gating in Glutamate-Gated Chloride Channel [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2015
Ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) are responsible for converting chemical signals to electrical ones in the nerve system, which is a key element in the fast synaptic signal transmission. The first crystal structures of prokaryotic homologs were solved a few years ago, and today there are many more structures available - including a human one.

Voltage Sensing in Bacterial Protein Translocation

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
The bacterial channel SecYEG efficiently translocates both hydrophobic and hydrophilic proteins across the plasma membrane. Translocating polypeptide chains may dislodge the plug, a half helix that blocks the permeation of small molecules, from its ...

Experimental challenges in ion channel research: uncovering basic principles of permeation and gating in potassium channels

open access: yesAdvances in Physics: X, 2022
Biological ion channels precisely control the flow of ions across membranes in response to a range of physical and chemical stimuli. With their ability of transporting ions in a highly selective manner and of integrating regulatory cues, they are a ...

Graphene field effect transistors with ferroelectric gating

open access: yes, 2010
Recent experiments on ferroelectric gating have introduced a novel functionality, i.e. nonvolatility, in graphene field effect transistors. A comprehensive understanding in the non-linear, hysteretic ferroelectric gating and an effective way to control ...

Gating currents indicate complex gating of voltage-gated proton channels [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018
The voltage-gated proton channel (HV1) is a unique molecule that resides at the interface between ion channels and bioenergetic molecules that use proton gradients to store or transduce energy. HV1 plays key roles in the health and disease of diverse tissues and species (1). Important information regarding the physical components of ion-channel gating (

Mechanism of activation at the selectivity filter of the KcsA K+ channel

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Potassium channels are opened by ligands and/or membrane potential. In voltage-gated K+ channels and the prokaryotic KcsA channel, conduction is believed to result from opening of an intracellular constriction that prevents ion entry into the pore.

Spin Gating of Mesoscopic Devices

open access: yes, 2015
Inefficient screening of electric fields in nanoconductors makes electric manipulation of electronic transport in nanodevices possible. Accordingly, electrostatic (charge) gating is routinely used to affect and control the Coulomb electrostatics and ...

Flexibility of the N-Terminal mVDAC1 Segment Controls the Channel’s Gating Behavior [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Since the solution of the molecular structures of members of the voltage dependent anion channels (VDACs), the N-terminal α-helix has been the main focus of attention, since its strategic location, in combination with its putative conformational ...
