Spontaneous solute and solvent permeation through membranes is of vital importance to
human life, be it gas exchange in red blood cells, metabolite excretion, drug/toxin uptake, or …

Aquaporins are channel proteins that function to increase the permeability of biological
membranes. In plants, aquaporins are encoded by multigene families that have undergone …

Cell membranes provide a selective semi-permeable barrier to the passive transport of
molecules. This property differs greatly between organisms. While the cytoplasmic …

The partial pressure of CO2 at the sites of carboxylation within chloroplasts depends on the
conductance to CO2 diffusion from intercellular airspace to the sites of carboxylation, termed …

The transport of gaseous compounds across biological membranes (see picture) is essential
in all forms of life. In this Minireview, the authors discuss recently reported violations of the …

This is a review. Non-electrolytic compounds typically cross cell membranes by passive
diffusion. The rate of permeation is dependent on the chemical properties of the solute and …

The membrane CO2 flux into Arabidopsis mesophyll cells was studied using a scanning pH
microelectrode. Arabidopsis thaliana mesophyll cells were exposed to photosynthesis …

Cholesterol is widely known to alter the physical properties and permeability of membranes.
Several prior works have implicated cell membrane cholesterol as a barrier to tissue …

As a result of their unique physical properties, biological membrane mimetics, such as
liposomes, are used in a broad range of scientific and technological applications …

London dispersion interactions play an integral role in materials science and biophysics.
Force fields for atomistic molecular simulations typically represent dispersion interactions by …
