Integral and peripheral membrane proteins account for one-third of the human proteome, and they are estimated to represent the target for over 50% of modern medicinal drugs. Despite their central role in medicine, the complex, heterogeneous and dynamic nat ...
The field of coarse-grained simulations of biopolymers and membranes has grown rapidly in recent years. Industrial groups manufacture and use polymers in fields as diverse as chemicals processing and personal care products, while academic researchers are i ...
Stream ecosystem metabolism integrates production and respiration of organic matter and plays a fundamental role in the global carbon (C) cycle. Several studies have identified distal and proximal physical controls, for example, land use and transient s ...
As part of a larger study of the reactivity and mobility of uranyl (U(VI) O-2(2+)) cations in subsurface environments containing natural organic matter (NOM) and hydrous ferric oxides, we have examined the effect of reference humic and fulvic substances on ...
Microplastics, especially aged microplastics can become vectors of heavy metals from environment to organisms with potential negative effects on food chain. However, a few studies focused on the bioavailability of adsorbed metals and most studies related t ...
Phase-field models have been extensively used to study interfacial phenomena, from solidification to vesicle dynamics. In this article, we analyze a phase-field model that captures the relevant physical features that characterize biological membranes. We s ...
This study describes seasonal water quality parameters measured in Petrozavodsk Bay, Lake Onego, Russia. Petrozavodsk Bay (PB) lies in the north of Lake Onego and adjacent to the city of Petrozavodsk. PB water quality is controlled by anthropogenic input, ...
Lateral diffusion enables efficient interactions between membrane proteins leading to signal transmission across the plasma membrane. An open question is how the spatio-temporal distribution of cell surface receptors influences the transmembrane signaling ...

Humic substances (HS) play key role in toxic metal binding and protecting aquatic microorganisms from metal-induced stress. Any environmental changes that could alter HS concentration and reactivity can be expected to modify metal complexation and thus aff ...
Clustering of extracellular ligands and proteins on the plasma membrane is required to perform specific cellular functions, such as signaling and endocy- tosis. Attractive forces that originate in perturbations of the membrane’s phys- ical properties contr ...
