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, ...

Figure 1: Voltage-dependent FRET between dipicrylamine and model membrane probes. Figure 2: FRET measurements between labelled Shaker potassium channel and dipicrylamine. To further constrain the ...

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).

Clock gating is one of the most frequently used techniques in RTL to reduce dynamic power consumption without affecting the functionality of the design. One method involves inserting gating conditions ...

On Nov. 12, Intel shipped the first 45-nanometer microprocessors using high-k metal-gate technology. Whether to underscore the significance of the event or to reinforce that his famous law remains on ...

IMEC, the Belgium-based nanotechnology research center, announced at this week's VLSI Symposium that it has improved the performance of its planar CMOS using hafnium-based, high-k dielectrics and ...

As consumers continue to demand more functionality in smaller, more energy efficient devices, power optimization rules a hardware designer's life. It typically takes multiple iterations over weeks of ...

Scientists have made a significant advance in understanding how potassium channels, which permit the flow of electric currents central to many of the body's biological processes, control the flow of ...

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 ...
