Multisecond ligand dissociation dynamics from atomistic simulations [PDF]
Coarse-graining of fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations is a long-standing goal in order to allow the description of processes occurring on biologically relevant timescales. For example, the prediction of pathways, rates and rate-limiting steps in protein-ligand unbinding is crucial for modern drug discovery. To achieve the enhanced sampling,

The Atypical Stimulant and Nootropic Modafinil Interacts with the Dopamine Transporter in a Different Manner than Classical Cocaine-Like Inhibitors [PDF]
Modafinil is a mild psychostimulant with pro-cognitive and antidepressant effects. Unlike many conventional stimulants, modafinil has little appreciable potential for abuse, making it a promising therapeutic agent for cocaine addiction.

Distribution and dynamics of Tc-99m-pertechnetate uptake in the thyroid and other organs assessed by single-photon emission computed tomography in living mice [PDF]
Background: Tc-99m pertechnetate is a well-known anion, used for clinical imaging of thyroid function. This gamma emitter is transported by the sodium iodide symporter but is not incorporated into thyroglobulin. Scintigraphy using Tc-99m pertechnetate or

Sodium chloride inhibits effective bubbly drag reduction in turbulent bubbly Taylor–Couette flows [PDF]
Using the Taylor–Couette geometry we experimentally investigate the effect of salt on drag reduction caused by bubbles present in the flow. We combine torque measurements with optical high-speed imaging to relate the bubble size to the drag experienced ...

Reclamation of filtered bicarbonate [PDF]
The kidney participates in the maintenance of acid-base homeostasis by 1) reabsorption of the filtered load of bicarbonate and 2) excretion of fixed acids through the titration of urinary buffers and the excretion of ammonium.
