A superfamily of small potassium channel subunits: form and function of the MinK-related peptides (MiRPs). [PDF]
, 1998 MinK and MinK-related peptide I (MiRPI) are integral membrane peptides with a single transmembrane span. These peptides are active only when co-assembled with pore-forming K+ channel subunits and yet their role in normal ion channel behaviour is ...

Effect of channel block on the spiking activity of excitable membranes in a stochastic Hodgkin-Huxley model [PDF]
, 2004 The influence of intrinsic channel noise on the spontaneous spiking activity of poisoned excitable membrane patches is studied by use of a stochastic generalization of the Hodgkin-Huxley model.

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 ...

Coordinated movement of cytoplasmic and transmembrane domains of RyR1 upon gating.
PLoS Biology, 2009 Ryanodine receptor type 1 (RyR1) produces spatially and temporally defined Ca2+ signals in several cell types. How signals received in the cytoplasmic domain are transmitted to the ion gate and how the channel gates are unknown.

The Outer Vestibule of the Na+ Channel–Toxin Receptor and Modulator of Permeation as Well as Gating
Marine Drugs, 2010 The outer vestibule of voltage-gated Na+ channels is formed by extracellular loops connecting the S5 and S6 segments of all four domains (“P-loops”), which fold back into the membrane. Classically, this structure has been implicated in the control of ion
