Obligate coupling of CFTR pore opening to tight nucleotide-binding domain dimerization
eLife, 2016 In CFTR, the chloride channel mutated in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, ATP-binding-induced dimerization of two cytosolic nucleotide binding domains (NBDs) opens the pore, and dimer disruption following ATP hydrolysis closes it.

Monod-Wyman-Changeux Analysis of Ligand-Gated Ion Channel Mutants [PDF]
, 2017 We present a framework for computing the gating properties of ligand-gated ion channel mutants using the Monod-Wyman-Changeux (MWC) model of allostery. We derive simple analytic formulas for key functional properties such as the leakiness, dynamic range,

Cell-specific mechanisms of TMEM16A Ca2+-activated chloride channel in cancer
Molecular Cancer, 2017 TMEM16A (known as anoctamin 1) Ca2+-activated chloride channel is overexpressed in many tumors. TMEM16A overexpression can be caused by gene amplification in many tumors harboring 11q13 amplification.

Channel Optical Waveguides and Directional Couplers in GaAs -- Imbedded and Ridged [PDF]
, 1973 Two-channel imbedded directional couplers were fabricated with proton implantation, yielding complete light transfer in 2 mm. Ridged channel guides were fabricated by ion-micromachining epitaxial layers, and a method of directional coupling was ...

Biophysical Effects Of Ion Concenteration On The Affinity Between Nanopore, OmpF Lumen and Passing Nucleotide [PDF]
, 2010 OmpF an outer-membrane porin channel of _E. Coli_ posses beta-barrel structure, whose conductivity and gating phenomena are affected by changes in pH, salt concentration and so on. The distribution of amino acids in OmpF induces a non homologous electric

Comparison of Langevin and Markov channel noise models for neuronal signal generation
, 2009 The stochastic opening and closing of voltage-gated ion channels produces noise in neurons. The effect of this noise on the neuronal performance has been modelled using either approximate or Langevin model, based on stochastic differential equations or ...
