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 ...
Harnessing the intragenomic variability of rRNA operons to improve differentiation of Vibrio species
(Nature, 2024)
Although the 16S rRNA gene is frequently used as a phylogenetic marker in analysis of environmental DNA, this marker often fails to distinguish closely related species, including those in the genus Vibrio. Here, we investigate ...
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 ...
Chronic defeat stress induces monoamine level dysregulation in the prefrontal cortex but not in the hippocampus of OF1 male mice
(Elsevier, 2024-06)
Chronic social stress can increase susceptibility to chronic diseases such as depression. One of the most used models to study the physiological mechanisms and behavioral outcomes of this type of stress is chronic defeat ...
Innovative strategy for developing PEDOT composite scaffold for reversible oxygen reduction reaction
(ACS, 2024-04)
Metal–air batteries are an emerging technology with great potential to satisfy the demand for energy in high-consumption applications. However, this technology is still in an early stage, facing significant challenges such ...
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 ...
The influence of AI in the media work force: How companies use an array of legal remedies
(Ramon Llull University, 2024-05-14)
The emergence of ChatGPT and other related artificial intelligence systems has posed many questions upon the impact that such tools could have on some jobs, including media workers. Serious legal concerns have arisen ...
Educational attainment of same-sex and opposite-sex dizygotic twins: An individual-level pooled study of 19 twin cohorts
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
Comparing twins from same- and opposite-sex pairs can provide information on potential sex differences in a
variety of outcomes, including socioeconomic-related outcomes such as educational attainment. It has been
suggested ...
Resembling graphene/polymer aerogel morphology for advancing the CO2/N2 selectivity of the postcombustion CO2 capture process
(ACS, 2024-04)
The separation of CO2 from N2 remains a highly challenging task in postcombustion CO2 capture processes, primarily due to the relatively low CO2 content (3–15%) compared to that of N2 (70%). This challenge is particularly ...
Global Vision of the Reaction and Deactivation Routes in the Ethanol Steam Reforming on a Catalyst Derived from a Ni–Al Spinel
(ACS, 2024-04)
Ethanol steam reforming (ESR) over a Ni/Al2O3 catalyst prepared by reduction of a NiAl2O4 spinel is a promising alternative route to produce H2 from biomass. This work deepens into the effect of reaction conditions (450–650 ...
