On latches in biological systems: a comparative morphological and functional study of the retinaculum and the dens lock in Collembola

open access: yesFrontiers in Zoology, 2023
Background Springtails have the ability to jump using morphological structures consisting of a catapult, the furca, and a latching system constructed with interaction of the retinaculum and the dens lock.

Quantum-locked key distribution at nearly the classical capacity rate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Quantum data locking is a protocol that allows for a small secret key to (un)lock an exponentially larger amount of information, hence yielding the strongest violation of the classical one-time pad encryption in the quantum setting.

Binding Affinity Determination in Drug Design: Insights from Lock and Key, Induced Fit, Conformational Selection, and Inhibitor Trapping Models

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences
Binding affinity is a fundamental parameter in drug design, describing the strength of the interaction between a molecule and its target protein. Accurately predicting binding affinity is crucial for the rapid development of novel therapeutics, the ...

Sterically stabilized lock and key colloids: A self-consistent field theory study

open access: yes, 2011
A self-consistent field theory study of lock and key type interactions between sterically stabilized colloids in polymer solution is performed. Both the key particle and the lock cavity are assumed to have cylindrical shape, and their surfaces are ...

Non-destructive lock-picking of a historical treasure chest by means of X-ray computed tomography.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
An innovative approach to a non-destructive lock mechanism examination by means of X-ray computed tomography (CT) was involved in a careful opening of a locked 19th century chest missing the key, as an interdisciplinary cooperation with the restorers. In

Multi-Photon Quantum Key Distribution Based on Double-Lock Encryption

open access: yes, 2015
This paper presents a multi-stage, multi-photon quantum key distribution protocol based on the double-lock cryptography. It exploits the asymmetry in the detection strategies between the legitimate users and the eavesdropper. The security analysis of the

Heterogeneous and rate-dependent streptavidin-biotin unbinding revealed by high-speed force spectroscopy and atomistic simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Receptor-ligand interactions are essential for biological function and their binding strength is commonly explained in terms of static lock-and-key models based on molecular complementarity.

Smart Molecular Recognition: From Key-to-Lock Principle to Memory-Based Selectivity

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2020
The formation and decomposition of inclusion compounds with a solid-solid phase transition may be very selective to the guest molecular structure. This selectivity may function in essentially different ways than defined by the classical concept of ...
