Ion channels are attractive drug targets due to their importance in health and disease, but finding ways to target a specific ion channel selectively is a major challenge. Now, researchers at Weill ...

Ion channels are structures within cell membranes that enable specific ions to travel to and from the cell. Such transfer is essential for a variety of physiological processes such as muscle cell ...

For ion transport at nanoscale confinements, a cost of energy is discovered that originates from the rearrangement of the counter-ion shell, with the magnitude of which depending on the type of ...

Ion channels are attractive drug targets due to their importance in health and disease, but finding ways to target a specific ion channel selectively is a major challenge. Now, researchers have ...

The design of new calcium channels, built bottom-up from scratch, was reported last week in Nature. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. Ion channels generate electrical ...

Ion-transport membranes are vital components of clean-energy technologies, such as CO 2 electrolyzers, water electrolyzers, fuel cells, redox flow batteries and ion-capture electrodialysis. These ...

Pretein design researcher Yulai Liu holds an enlarged 3D printed model from his team's efforts to design functioning calcium channels entirely from scratch. He is standing in David Baker's lab at the ...
