Unexpected stable stoichiometries of sodium chlorides [PDF]
Sodium chloride (NaCl), or rocksalt, is well characterized at ambient pressure. Due to the large electronegativity difference between Na and Cl atoms, it has highly ionic chemical bonding, with stoichiometry 1:1 dictated by charge balance, and B1-type crystal structure.

Stimulation of Enzyme Reaction Rates by Crystalline Substrate Irradiation: Dependence on Identity of Irradiated Substance [PDF]
The study reported here concerns a phenomenon, discovered and extensively investigated by Sorin Comorosan, wherein enzyme initial reaction rates are enhanced as a consequence of incorporation of solutions derived from previously irradiated crystalline material into the reaction medium.

Mechanism of Anion Exchange and Small-Molecule Inhibition of Pendrin [PDF]
Pendrin (SLC26A4) is an anion exchanger that mediates bicarbonate (HCO3−) exchange for chloride (Cl−) and is crucial for maintaining pH and salt homeostasis in the kidney, lung, and cochlea. Pendrin also exports iodide (I−) in the thyroid gland.

Nucleation kinetics in drying sodium nitrate aerosols [PDF]
A quantitative understanding of the evaporative drying kinetics and nucleation rates of aqueous based aerosol droplets is important for a wide range of applications, from atmospheric aerosols to industrial processes such as spray drying. Here, we introduce a numerical model for interpreting measurements of the evaporation rate and phase change of ...

LeuT Conformational Sampling Utilizing Accelerated Molecular Dynamics and Principal Component Analysis [PDF]
Monoamine transporters (MATs) function by coupling ion gradients to the transport of dopamine, norepinephrine, or serotonin. Despite their importance in regulating neurotransmission, the exact conformational mechanism by which MATs function remains ...

Glycine transporters GlyT1 and GlyT2 are differentially modulated by glycogen synthase kinase 3β [PDF]
© 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Inhibitory glycinergic neurotransmission is terminated by the specific glycine transporters GlyT1 and GlyT2 which actively reuptake glycine from the synaptic cleft.

SLC transporters as therapeutic targets: Emerging opportunities [PDF]
Solute carrier (SLC) transporters-a family of more than 300 membrane-bound proteins that facilitate the transport of a wide array of substrates across biological membranes-have important roles in physiological processes ranging from the cellular uptake ...

Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, including empagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and canagliflozin, are now widely approved antihyperglycemic therapies. Because of their unique glycosuric mechanism, SGLT2 inhibitors also reduce weight.
