Nonequilibrium gating and voltage dependence of the ClC-0 Cl- channel. [PDF]
, 1996 The gating of ClC-0, the voltage-dependent Cl- channel from Torpedo electric organ, is strongly influenced by Cl- ions in the external solution. Raising external Cl- over the range 1-600 mM favors the fast-gating open state and disfavors the slow-gating ...

Intermittent permeation of cylindrical nanopores by water
, 2002 Molecular Dynamics simulations of water molecules in nanometre sized cylindrical channels connecting two reservoirs show that the permeation of water is very sensitive to the channel radius and to electric polarization of the embedding material.

Gating and selectivity mechanisms for the lysosomal K+ channel TMEM175
eLife, 2020 Transmembrane protein 175 (TMEM175) is a K+-selective ion channel expressed in lysosomal membranes, where it establishes a membrane potential essential for lysosomal function and its dysregulation is associated with the development of Parkinson’s Disease.

Cooperative gating between ion channels
General physiology and biophysics, 2014 Cooperative gating between ion channels, i.e. the gating of one channel directly coupled to the gating of neighboring channels, has been observed in diverse channel types at the single-channel level. Positively coupled gating could enhance channel-mediated signaling while negative coupling may effectively reduce channel gating noise.

MOFs and COFs in Electronics: Bridging the Gap between Intrinsic Properties and Measured Performance
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) hold promise for advanced electronics. However, discrepancies in reported electrical conductivities highlight the importance of measurement methodologies. This review explores intrinsic charge transport mechanisms and extrinsic factors influencing performance, and critically ...
