In a recent study published in Matter, Chinese researchers observed the dynamic gating process at sub-2 nm speed in nanochannels. Dr. Zhou Yahong at Prof. Jiang Lei's team of the Technical Institute ...

Nanoclusters supported on substrates are of great importance in physics and chemistry as well as in technical applications, such as single-electron transistors 1,2, nanocatalysts 3,4,5 and quantum ...

The lower body domain is composed of residues 56–74, 93–104, 188–207, 254–281 and 320–330 (zfP2X4 numbering) and is characterized by a β-sandwich motif formed by six β-sheets (Figure 2A and 2H).

Ion channels play a crucial role in many cellular processes, including neuronal communication, muscle contraction or cell proliferation. Most multi subunit ion channels exist in two functional states, ...
