Initially identified in pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria, the two-partner secretion (TPS)
pathway, also known as Type Vb secretion, mediates the translocation across the outer …

Translocation of proteins is correlated with structural fluctuations that access conformational
states higher in free energy than the folded state. We use electric fields at the solid-state …

Despite an extensive theoretical and numerical background, the translocation ratchet
mechanism, which is fundamental for the transmembrane transport of biomolecules, has …

Iron is essential for life. Accessing iron from the environment can be a limiting factor that
determines success in a given environmental niche. For bacteria, access of chelated iron …

Polymer translocation through a nanometer-scale pore assisted by chaperones binding to
the polymer is a process encountered in vivo for proteins. Studying the relevant models by …

Protein quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) maintains cellular proteostasis by
regulating protein folding, assembly, and degradation. While protein translocation from the …

Protein secretion is a major contributor to Gram‐negative bacterial virulence. Type Vb or two‐
partner secretion (TPS) pathways utilize a membrane bound β‐barrel B component (TpsB) …

Abstract Based on the Flashing Ratchet Potential (FRP) and Electro-Spectroscopy detection
techniques, a new detection method was experimentally examined. This method allows the …

Extensive and comparative theoretical studies on novel Ionized Gas Thermoelectric
Generator (IGTEG) system have shown ability of continuous energy extracting from thermal …

Abstract The novel Ionized Gas Thermoelectric Generator (IG-TEG) system that has been
studied theoretically showing capabilities to continually extracting energy from the thermal …
