Structure and Function of Water Channels [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Structural Biology, 2002
All aquaporins are efficient water transporters, while sustaining strict selectivity, even against protons, thereby maintaining the proton gradient across the cell membrane. Recently solved structures of these membrane channels have helped us to understand this remarkable property.

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

Shallow landslide susceptibility assessment in a data-poor region of Guatemala (Comitancillo municipality)

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Engineering, 2015
Although landslides are frequent natural phenomena in mountainous regions, the lack of data in emerging countries is a significant issue in the assessment of shallow landslide susceptibility.

Onion Root Water Transport Sensitive to Water Channel andK+ ChannelInhibitors [PDF]

open access: yesPlant and Cell Physiology, 2001
Transroot osmotic water flux (Jos) and radial hydraulic conductivity (Lpr) in onion roots were greatly increased by three means; infiltration of roots by pressurization, repetition of osmosis and chilling at 5 degrees C. Jos was strongly reduced by the water channel inhibitor HgCl2 (91%) and the K+ channel inhibitor nonyltriethylammonium (C9, 75 ...

Empagliflozin Contributes to Polyuria via Regulation of Sodium Transporters and Water Channels in Diabetic Rat Kidneys

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2019
Besides lowering glucose, empagliflozin, a selective sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, have been known to provide cardiovascular and renal protection due to effects on diuresis and natriuresis.

Cooling Effect of Water Channel with Vortex Generators on In-Wheel Driving Motors in Electric Vehicles

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
Designing an effective cooling system for high-power-density in-wheel motors of electric vehicles is required to avoid the irreversible demagnetization of the permanent magnet due to a rise in its temperature.

Journal Staff [PDF]

open access: yes, 1959
Water and supercritical carbon dioxide have different wetting angles to a glass surface, where water has a lower angle. In a microfluidic channel, the lower wetting angle draws the water to surround the supercritical carbon dioxide and the supercritical ...

Intermittent permeation of cylindrical nanopores by water

open access: yes, 2002
Molecular Dynamics simulations of water molecules in nanometre sized cylindrical channels connecting two reservoirs show that the permeation of water is very sensitive to the channel radius and to electric polarization of the embedding material.

Exploiting metabolic adaptations to overcome dabrafenib treatment resistance in melanoma cells

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We show that dabrafenib‐resistant melanoma cells undergo mitochondrial remodeling, leading to elevated respiration and ROS production balanced by stronger antioxidant defenses. This altered redox state promotes survival despite mitochondrial damage but renders resistant cells highly vulnerable to ROS‐inducing compounds such as PEITC, highlighting redox
