Foodborne pathogens are a major threat to both food safety and public health. The current
trend toward fresh and less processed foods and the misuse of antibiotics in food production …

In Enterobacteriaceae, susceptibility to cephalosporins and carbapenems is often
associated with membrane and enzymatic barrier resistance. For about 20 years, a large …

Ion channels exhibit gating behavior, fluctuating between open and closed states, with the
transmembrane voltage serving as one of the essential regulators of this process. Voltage …

Dedicated translocase channels are nanomachines that often, but not always, unfold and
translocate proteins through narrow pores across the membrane. Generally, these molecular …

We study the translocation probability and lifetime of a solute molecule in a cylindrical
membrane channel that contains a localized constriction at an arbitrary location. Using a …

The objective of this work is to highlight the power of isotope-edited Fourier transform
infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in resolving important problems encountered in biochemistry …

Biological nanopores are ultrasensitive and highly attractive platforms for disease
diagnostics, including the sequencing of viral and microbial genes and the detection of …
