Molecular dynamics simulations of the calmodulin-induced α-helix in the SK2 calcium-gated potassium ion channel
(Elsevier, 2023-02)
The family of small-conductance Ca2+-activated potassium ion channels (SK channels) is composed of four members (SK1, SK2, SK3, and SK4) involved in neuron-firing regulation. The gating of these channels depends on the ...
Do calmodulin binding IQ motifs have built-in capping domains?
(Wiley, 2021-08-15)
Most calmodulin (CaM) targets are alpha-helices. It is not clear if CaM induces the adoption of an alpha-helix configuration to its targets or if those targets are selected as they spontaneously adopt an alpha-helical ...
A kinetic Monte Carlo study of the C3S dissolution mechanism
(Elsevier, 2024-06-09)
Understanding the mechanism that controls cement hydration and its stages is a long-standing challenge. Over a decade ago, the mineral dissolution theory was adopted from geochemistry to explain the hydration rate evolution ...
Elucidating the synergistic effects of temperature rise inhibitor at the water tricalcium silicate interface
(ACS, 2024-04)
Organic–inorganic composites play a crucial role in modulating concrete properties, encompassing interfacial interactions and their synergistic mechanisms. Unraveling these interactions presents a formidable challenge. In ...
Fluorometric measurement of calmodulin-dependent peptide–protein interactions using dansylated calmodulin
(Bio-protocol LLC, 2024-04)
The assessment of peptide–protein interactions is a pivotal aspect of studying the functionality and mechanisms of various bioactive peptides. In this context, it is essential to employ methods that meet specific criteria, ...
Future electricity production at Mutriku Wave Energy Plant estimated from CMIP6 wave climate projections (2015–2100)
(Elsevier, 2024-01-01)
Renewable marine energy sources are rapidly developing worldwide. With numerous operational marine power
plants in existence, it is becoming increasingly important to explore their potential. Hence, this study aims ...
Future offshore wind energy evolution in the Bay of Biscay
(Elsevier, 2024-05)
A relevant point near the Biscay Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP) has been chosen and data from the ERA5 reanalysis and CMIP6 datasets in future SSP5-85 scenario (wind and wave data) have been used to analyse the energy ...
Angle-resolved direct emissivity measurements on unencapsulated solar cells for passive thermal control
(IEEE, 2024-03-18)
The emissivity of two unencapsulated photovoltaic cells has been measured by a direct radiometric method, between 30 and 50 °C, and indirectly at room temperature. The advantages of the angle-resolved direct method for the ...
Microscopic mechanism of radionuclide Cs retention in Al containing C-S-H nanopores
(Elsevier, 2021-04)
Cementitious materials act as a retaining barrier, immobilizing liquid and solid radioactive waste and preventing their release into the biosphere. The retention capability of hydrated cement paste and its main hydration ...
Cellular patterns and dry convection in textured dust storms at the edge of Mars North Polar Cap
(Elsevier, 2022-11)
We present a study of textured local dust storms that develop at the northern polar cap boundary on Mars springtime. We have used images obtained with VMC and HRSC cameras onboard Mars Express and MARCI on MRO to analyze ...
