This study is led by Dr. Vijay Venkatesh (Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, The Ohio State University). Characterization of transmembrane ion transport through porous substrates at ...

The characteristics of transmembrane transport of 14C-labelled indol-3yl-acetic acid ([1-14C]IAA) were compared in Chlorella vulgaris Beij., a simple unicellular green alga, and in Chara vulgaris L., ...

The twin-arginine translocation (Tat) pathway of bacteria and plant chloroplasts mediates the transmembrane transport of folded proteins, which harbour signal sequences with a conserved twin-arginine ...

The cell membrane has numerous channels for the transport of various substances, including ions, between the cell and its environment. Ion transport determines the ion exchange rate (or the ...

As in other P-type ATPases, metal binding to transmembrane metal-binding sites (TM-MBS) in Cu⁺-ATPases is required for enzyme phosphorylation and subsequent transport. However, Cu⁺ does not access Cu⁺ ...

The metabolic process of bilirubin has been a focus of attention since its abnormal accumulation has been associated with a variety of diseases. Bilirubin is a substance produced by the breakdown of ...

Transmembrane proteins from the House of Nature are abundant, but they’re all off the rack. Yes, they have been tailored to serve diverse functions, from transmembrane transport to cell signaling, but ...

Researchers at New York University and the University of Chicago have developed artificial, fully synthetic cell-like structures that autonomously ingest, process, and push out material, recreating an ...
