The main building block of biological membranes is a flexible fluid bilayer of lipid molecules. In their model, the authors first define the coupling of the membrane with the two constituents of ...

APOL1 contains an N-terminal ionic pore-forming domain contiguous to a membrane-addressing motif, together with a long amphipathic α-helix in the C-terminal region 1,3. This protein exhibits ...

Because flexural couplings accommodate misalignment in a bending mode, reaction is proportional to the flexing member thickness. In some types, such as the membrane and bellows couplings ...

This allowed the researchers to control the membrane tension and thus engineer the coupling needed to control one oscillation mode by exciting the other. This coupling between different modes was ...

"This sectional photocatalysis-membrane coupling system overcomesthe limitation of light inaccessibility in a conventional one-piece photocatalytic membrane system and reduces the transportation ...

physics and life sciences have enabled a greater quantitative understanding of lipid asymmetry and its coupling to protein function. This Discussion will explore the various facets of membrane ...

They found that closely spaced pore arrays give a strong pore-pore coupling, resulting in a synergistic effect to increase the selectivity, while ensuring the ultrahigh ionic conductivity. The anion ...
