introduction: we have recently reported the presence of two potassium currents with 598 and 368 ps conductance in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rer) membrane. the 598 ps channel was voltage dependent and atp sensitive. however, the 368 ps channel was rarely observed and its identity remained obscure. since cationic channels in intracellular organelles such as mitochondria and rer play import...

in this paper, the temperature dependence of some characteristics of cylindrical gate-all-around si nanowire field effect transistor (gaa-si-nwfet) is investigated to representing the temperature nano-sensor structures and improving their performance. firstly, we calculate the temperature sensitivity of drain-source current versus the gate-source voltage of gaa-si-nwfet to propose the temperatu...

Introduction: Previous studies and our works have indicated several cation channels in the rat brain mitochondrial inner membrane. In this work, we report the single-channel characterization of a cation channel from the rat brain mitochondrial inner membrane incorporated into a planar lipid bilayer. Methods: After removing and homogenizing the adult rat brain, its supernatant was centrifuged...

The fractal tree-like branched network is an effective channel design structure to reduce the hydraulic resistance as compared with the conventional parallel channel network. In order for a laminar flow to achieve minimum hydraulic resistance, it is believed that the optimal fractal tree-like channel network obeys the well-accepted Murray's law of βm = N-1/3 (βm is the optimal diameter ratio be...

Introduction: we have recently reported the presence of two potassium currents with 598 and 368 pS conductance in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) membrane. The 598 pS channel was voltage dependent and ATP sensitive. However, the 368 pS channel was rarely observed and its identity remained obscure. Since cationic channels in intracellular organelles such as mitochondria and RER play imp...

In this work, extraction of propionic acid from the aqueous phase to the organic phase (1-octanol) was performed in T-junction microchannels and effects of channel diameter and fluid flow rate on the mass transfer characteristics were investigated. The two-phase flow patterns in studied microchannels with 0.4 and 0.8 mm diameters were observed. Weber ‎ number and surface-to-volume ratio were ca...

introduction: recent studies have shown the presence of cl- channels in heart and liver mitochondrial membranes. in this work, we have characterized the functional profile of a cl- channel from rat brain mitochondria. methods: after removing and homogenizing the rat brain, the supernatant was separately centrifuged in msedigitonin, h2o and na2co3 and mitochondrial inner membrane vesicles were o...

Most mitochondrial proteins are imported into mitochondria through transmembrane channels composed largely, and perhaps exclusively, of proteins. We have determined the effective internal diameter of the protein import channel in the mitochondrial outer membrane to be between 20 A and 26 A during translocation. The diameter of the import channel in the inner membrane is smaller than the diamete...
