BRANEart: Identify Stability Strength and Weakness Regions in Membrane Proteins

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioinformatics, 2021
Understanding the role of stability strengths and weaknesses in proteins is a key objective for rationalizing their dynamical and functional properties such as conformational changes, catalytic activity, and protein-protein and protein-ligand ...

Taste Receptor Cells Generate Oscillating Receptor Potentials by Activating G Protein-Coupled Taste Receptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
The receptor potentials of taste receptor cells remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that taste receptor cells generate oscillating depolarization (n = 7) with action potentials in response to sweet, bitter, umami, and salty taste substances.

Membrane potential and cancer progression [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2013
Membrane potential (Vm ), the voltage across the plasma membrane, arises because of the presence of different ion channels/transporters with specific ion selectivity and permeability. Vm is a key biophysical signal in non-excitable cells, modulating important cellular activities, such as proliferation and differentiation.

Event-Based Update of Synapses in Voltage-Based Learning Rules

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroinformatics, 2021
Due to the point-like nature of neuronal spiking, efficient neural network simulators often employ event-based simulation schemes for synapses. Yet many types of synaptic plasticity rely on the membrane potential of the postsynaptic cell as a third ...

KCNQ and KCNE Isoform-Dependent Pharmacology Rationalizes Native American Dual Use of Specific Plants as Both Analgesics and Gastrointestinal Therapeutics

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
Indigenous peoples of the Americas are proficient in botanical medicine. KCNQ family voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels are sensitive to a variety of ligands, including plant metabolites.

The membrane potential of Giardia intestinalis [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 2000
Giardia intestinalis is a primitive microaerophilic protozoan parasite which colonises the upper intestine of humans. Despite the evolutionary and medical significance of this organism, its physiology is very poorly understood. In this study we have used a novel flow cytometric technique to make quantitative measurements of the electrical potential ...

Effect of Porosity and Concentration Polarization on Electrolyte Diffusive Transport Parameters through Ceramic Membranes with Similar Nanopore Size

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2014
Diffusive transport through nanoporous alumina membranes (NPAMs) produced by the two-step anodization method, with similar pore size but different porosity, is studied by analyzing membrane potential measured with NaCl solutions at different ...

Electrical Properties of Model Lipid Membranes

open access: yesMembranes, 2022
Biological membranes are essential components of the living systems, and processes occurring with their participation are related mainly to electric phenomena such as signal transduction, existence of membrane potentials, and transport through the ...

Geometry based dynamic modeling of the neuron-electrode interface [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
A dynamic model of the neuron-electrode interface is presented which is based on the interface geometry and the electrical properties of the neuronal membrane. The model is used to compute the potential at the electrode and the local membrane potentials.
