Bioinspired graphene membrane with temperature tunable channels for water gating and molecular separation

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Smart regulation of substance permeability through porous membranes is highly desirable for membrane applications. Inspired by the stomatal closure feature of plant leaves at relatively high temperature, here we report a nano-gating membrane with 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 ...

Voltage gating of mechanosensitive PIEZO channels

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Mechanosensitive PIEZO ion channels are evolutionarily conserved proteins whose presence is critical for normal physiology in multicellular organisms. Here we show that, in addition to mechanical stimuli, PIEZO channels are also powerfully modulated by ...

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 ...

Role of outer surface probes for regulating ion gating of nanochannels

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Nanochannels with functional elements have shown promise for DNA sequencing, single-molecule sensing, and ion gating. Ionic current measurement is currently a benchmark, but is focused solely on the contribution from nanochannels’ inner-wall functional ...

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.

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.

ELISPOTs Produced by CD8 and CD4 Cells Follow Log Normal Size Distribution Permitting Objective Counting

open access: yesCells, 2015
Each positive well in ELISPOT assays contains spots of variable sizes that can range from tens of micrometers up to a millimeter in diameter. Therefore, when it comes to counting these spots the decision on setting the lower and the upper spot size ...

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 ...
