Solid-state NMR with magic-angle spinning (MAS) is an important method in structural
biology. While NMR can provide invaluable information about local geometry on an atomic …

The proton is the smallest atomic particle, and in aqueous solution it is the smallest hydrated
ion, having only two waters in its first hydration shell. In this article we survey key aspects of …

Light energy harvesting and conversion are essential for addressing the global energy
crisis. Inspired by the photoinduced energy conversion processes in biological systems …

Sodium-pumping rhodopsins (NaRs) are membrane transporters that utilize light energy to
pump Na+ across the cellular membrane. Within the NaRs, the retinal Schiff base …

We report a transient signature in the near-UV absorption of Krokinobacter eikastus
rhodopsin 2 (KR2), which spans from the femtosecond up to the millisecond time scale. The …

The discovery of the light-driven sodium pump Krokinobacter eikastus rhodopsin 2 (KR2) in
2013 has changed the paradigm that cation transport in microbial rhodopsins is restricted to …

Na+ plays a vital role in numerous physiological processes across humans and animals,
necessitating a comprehensive understanding of Na+ transmembrane transport. Among the …

Engineering light-controlled K+ pumps from Na+-pumping rhodopsins (NaR) greatly
expands the scope of optogenetic applications. However, the limited knowledge regarding …

A review of the literature published from January to December 2019 on theoretical aspects
of nuclear magnetic shielding is presented. It covers both non-relativistic and relativistic …

Chromatin is a DNA-protein polymer that represents the functional form of the genome. The
main building block of chromatin is the nucleosome, a structure that contains 147 base pairs …
