Capture and Release of CO2 in Monoethanolamine Aqueous Solutions: New Insights from First-Principles Reaction Dynamics

Wanda Andreoni, Fabio Pietrucci, Changru Ma

Aqueous,monoethanolamine (MEA) solution is commonly used for post-combustion carbon capture via chemical absorption. Extensive research has been carried out to characterize both uptake and release of carbon dioxide (CO2), with the aim of improving process ...

Chloride Ions in the Pore of Glycine and GABA Channels Shape the Time Course and Voltage Dependence of Agonist Currents

Michele Giugliano

In the vertebrate CNS, fast synaptic inhibition is mediated by GABA and glycine receptors. We recently reported that the time course of these synaptic currents is slower when intracellular chloride is high. Here we extend these findings to measure the effe ...

The Mouse Eugenol Odorant Receptor: Structural and Functional Plasticity of a Broadly Tuned Odorant Binding Pocket

Horst Vogel, Horst Pick, Olivia Baud, Sylvain Etter

Molecular interactions of odorants with their olfactory receptors (ORs) are of central importance for the ability of the mammalian olfactory system to detect and discriminate a vast variety of odors with a limited set of receptors. How a particular OR bind ...

Conformation of Polyalanine and Polyglycine Dications in the Gas Phase: Insight from Ion Mobility Spectrometry and Replica-Exchange Molecular Dynamics

Yury Tsybin, Aleksey Vorobyev, Rodolphe Antoine

The conformation of model Arg(Ala)(4)X(Ala)(4)Lys+2H and Arg(Gly)(4)X(Gly)(4)Lys+2H peptides has been systematically investigated as a function of the central amino acid X through a combined experimental and theoretical approach. Mass spectrome ...

Direct in vivo measurement of glycine and the neurochemical profile in the rat medulla oblongata

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Giulio Gambarota

The medulla oblongata (MO) contains a high density of glycinergic synapses and a particularly high concentration of glycine The aims of this study were to measure directly in vivo the neurochemical profile, including glycine, in MO using a spin-echo-based ...

Experimentally Facile Controlled Polymerization of N-Carboxyan hydrides (NCAs), Including O-Benzyl-L-threonine NCA

Matthew Gibson

It is demonstrated here that three different alpha-amino N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs), including for the first time O-benzyl-L-threonine NCA, can be polymerized in a controlled/"living" fashion without the need for transition metal catalysts or complex custo ...

Characterization of the 5HT3 receptor in live cells and in vitro

Veronica Ponce de Leon

The serotonin type 3 receptor (5HT3R) is a homopentameric, cation selective channel that mediates fast excitatory transmission in the nervous system. It is a member of the Cys-loop family of receptors that include the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nACh ...

Spectroscopy and Conformational Preferences of Gas-Phase Helices

Thomas Rizzo, Caroline Seaiby

We describe here a study of the spectroscopy of two peptides that we expect to be helical, Ac-Phe-(Ala)5-Lys-H+ and Ac-Phe-(Ala)10-Lys-H+, and one that we expect to be globular, Ac-Lys(H+)-Phe-(Ala)10, with the goal of identifying spectral features charact ...

Proton NMR of15N-choline metabolites enhanced by dynamic nuclear polarization

Rolf Gruetter, Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Arnaud Comment, Sami Jannin, Paul Romeo Vasos, Riddhiman Sarkar

(Figure Presented) Chemical shifts of protons can report on metabolic transformations such as the conversion of choline to phosphocholine. To follow such processes in vivo, magnetization can be enhanced by dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP). We have hyperp ...
