Conspectus The interactions of hydrated ions with molecular and macromolecular solution
and interface partners are strong on a chemical energy scale. Here, we recount the foremost …

Artificial cells have similar morphological characteristics as natural ones and can mimic
many functions of the latter. Artificial cells constructed with liposomes and vesicles have …

The dehydration of aqueous calcium and magnesium cations is the most fundamental
process controlling their reactivity in chemical and biological phenomena, such as the …

Reported powdery adsorbents with poor adsorption efficiency and stability make it
imperative to develop novel materials to extract gallium ions (Ga (III)) from effluents. Herein …

Potassium channels modulate various cellular functions through efficient and selective
conduction of K+ ions. The mechanism of ion conduction in potassium channels has recently …

Molecular-level understanding and characterization of solvation environments are often
needed across chemistry, biology, and engineering. Toward practical modeling of local …

The change in number densities of aqueous solutions of alkali chlorides should be
qualitatively predictable. Typically, as cations get larger, the number density of the solution …

Deviation of sodium and potassium concentrations from their optimal values in living
organisms is associated with severe health conditions, thus their precise determination in …

Members of the ubiquitous SLC11/NRAMP family catalyze the uptake of divalent transition
metal ions into cells. They have evolved to efficiently select these trace elements from a …

3D-RISM-KH molecular solvation theory based on statistical mechanics has been an engine
of the multiscale methods framework, which also includes molecular simulation techniques …
