Voltage-gated calcium (Ca 2+) channels initiate release of neurotransmitters at synapses,
and regulation of presynaptic Ca 2+ channels has a powerful influence on synaptic strength …

One of the greatest challenges in neuroscience has been to monitor electrical activity and
biochemistry in populations of identified neurons in ViVo. 1 Recent work on new microscopy …

Calcium (Ca) plays important role in plant development and response to various
environmental stresses. However, its involvement in mitigation of heavy metal stress in …

The field of micro total analysis systems (μTAS)(1) or lab on a chip (LOC) has extended its
usefulness into many new fields and disciplines spanning basic research to commercial …

Recent advances in rapid mixing and freeze quenching have opened the path for time-
resolved electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)-based double electron-electron …

Activity remodels neurons, altering their molecular, structural, and electrical characteristics.
To enable the selective characterization and manipulation of these neurons, we present …

Cadmium (Cd) in soil poses a major threat to plant growth and productivity. In the present
experiment, we studied the effect of calcium (Ca2+) and/or potassium (K+) on the antioxidant …

Ligand binding modulates the energy landscape of proteins, thus altering their folding and
allosteric conformational dynamics. To investigate such interplay, calmodulin has been a …

Voltage-gated Ca 2+ channels in presynaptic nerve terminals initiate neurotransmitter
release in response to depolarization by action potentials from the nerve axon. The strength …

We present a biochemical model of the wall shear stress-induced activation of endothelial
nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in an endothelial cell. The model includes three key …
