The function and gating mechanism of Escherichia coli mechanosensitive channel of small conductance (EcMscS) is well understood, but it is unknown whether MscS homologs in other bacteria function the same way. Here, we show that the MscS homolog from Corynebacterium glutamicum (CgMscS) opens at a much higher membrane…

Among the human senses, hearing is distinguished by its high frequency resolution and sensitivity to spatiotemporal patterns. Accordingly, sonification—the rendering of neural activity as sound for direct perception—has a long history in neuroscience. Although sonification can facilitate exploration of the temporal…

Biological information is generally thought to be subject to selection for faithful maintenance. However, accurate preservation is often combined with regulated mechanisms that generate state change. Selectively advantageous instability (SAI) is modeled here as instability that is favored because useful alternatives…

Title: Highlights 1. Systematically elucidates the physical (transmembrane migration-induced volume imbalance), chemical (inactivation of active species), and interfacial (electrode degradation, hydrogen/oxygen evolution) origins of capacity fade in redox flow batteries. 2. Summarizes recovery approaches from physical…

Myotonia is delayed muscle relaxation after forceful contraction. It is due to hyperexcitability of the skeletal muscle membrane. It can arise from primary skeletal muscle ion channel dysfunction, involving chloride or sodium channels, but is also a prominent clinical feature in myotonic dystrophies where altered RNA…
