The electronics surrounding us in our daily lives rely almost exclusively on electrons as the
dominant charge carrier. In stark contrast, biological systems rarely use electrons but rather …

Abstract In 1804, Theodore von Grotthuss proposed a mechanism for proton (H+) transport
between water molecules that involves the exchange of a covalent bond between H and O …

Biological membrane channels mediate information exchange between cells and facilitate
molecular recognition. While tuning the shape and function of membrane channels for …

This study systematically investigates the role of graphene oxide (GO) and reduced GO
(rGO)/silk-based composite micro/nano-fibrous scaffolds in regulating neuronal cell behavior …

Proton-conducting materials play a central role in many renewable energy and
bioelectronics technologies, including fuel cells, batteries and sensors. Thus, much research …

In contrast to electronic systems, biology rarely uses electrons as the signal to regulate
functions, but rather ions and molecules of varying size. Due to the unique combination of …

Bioelectronic materials interface biomolecules, cells, organs, or organisms with electronic
devices, and they represent an active and growing field of materials research. Protein and …

The electrical properties of eumelanin, a ubiquitous natural pigment, have fascinated
scientists since the late 1960s. For several decades, the hydration-dependent electrical …

Implementation of biocompatible materials in resistive switching memory (ReRAM) devices
provides opportunities to use them in biomedical applications. We demonstrate a robust …

N-myristoylation (MYR) is a crucial fatty acylation catalyzed by N-myristoyltransferases
(NMTs) that is likely to have appeared over 2 billion years ago. Proteome-wide approaches …
