Solvent Effects on the Adsorption Geometry and Electronic Structure of Dye-Sensitized TiO2: A First-Principles Investigation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) depends significantly on the adsorption geometry of the dye on the semiconductor surface. In turn, the stability and geometry of the adsorbed molecules is influenced by the chemical environment at the

A turbulence-driven model for heating and acceleration of the fast wind in coronal holes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A model is presented for generation of fast solar wind in coronal holes, relying on heating that is dominated by turbulent dissipation of MHD fluctuations transported upwards in the solar atmosphere.

A Study on the Synthesis and Proton Transport Behavior of Multilayered ZSM-5 Zeolite Nanosheet Membranes Laminated on Polymer Substrates

open access: yesMembranes, 2023
Single crystalline ZSM-5 ZNs with thicknesses around 6 nm were obtained by secondary growth of silicalite nanoparticles using diquaternary bis-1,5(tripropyl ammonium) pentamethylene diiodide (dC5) as a structure-directing agent (SDA).

The conduction pathway of potassium channels is water free under physiological conditions. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Ion conduction through potassium channels is a fundamental process of life. On the basis of crystallographic data, it was originally proposed that potassium ions and water molecules are transported through the selectivity filter in an alternating ...

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Synergistic Proton and Oxygen Ion Transport in Fluorite Oxide-Ion Conductor

open access: yesEnergy Material Advances
Current perovskite oxide electrolytes, i.e., acceptor-doped Ba(Ce,Zr)O3-δ, exhibit proton conductivity ranging from 10−3 to 10−2 S cm−1 at 600 °C for protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs), which rely on the structural defects.

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These
