Cryo-EM structures, MD simulations, and biochemical assays of human multidrug resistance-associated protein 4 in apo inward-open, ATP-bound outward-open, PGE1 substrate-bound, and sulindac inhibitor-bound states provide insights into substrate transport and inhibition mechanism.

The maintenance of plasma membrane structure is vital for the viability of cells. Disruption of this structure can lead to cell death. One important example is the macroscopic phase separation observed during dehydration associated with desiccation and freezing, often leading to loss of permeability and cell death. It has previously been shown that...

Semipermeable membranes are a key feature of all living organisms. While specialized membrane transporters in cells can import otherwise impermeable nutrients, the earliest cells would have lacked a mechanism to import nutrients rapidly under nutrient-rich circumstances. Using both experiments and simulations, we find that a process akin to passive...

In the open ocean and particularly in iron (Fe)-limited environment, copper (Cu) deficiency might limit the growth of phytoplankton species. Cu is an essential trace metal used in electron-transfer reactions, such as respiration and photosynthesis, when bound to specific enzymes. Some phytoplankton species, such as the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia spp. ...

Carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) have some excellent properties that make them ideal candidates as sorbents for solid-phase extraction (SPE). However, practical difficulties related to their handling (dispersion in the atmosphere, bundling phenomena, reduced adsorption capability, sorbent loss in cartridge/column format, etc.) have hindered their direct...

Reconstructing metabolic pathways in non-living systems allows for better understanding of living systems, however, mimicking living systems with non-living forms of matter remains challenging. Here, the authors report the synthesis of a minimal cell that incorporates energy production and information polymer synthesis and can undergo recursive ves...
