A molecular movie has captured in detail the process of an anion transported across the cell membrane by a light-fuelled protein pump. Researchers have unravelled the mystery of how light energy ...
Improper ion balance resulting from defects in the ion channel CFTR underlies cystic fibrosis. Separate control mechanisms are now shown to regulate the flux of chloride and bicarbonate through this ...
A joint research team from Nitto Boseki Co., Ltd. (Nittobo) and Tohoku University has revealed that polyionic liquids (PILs) ...
The efficient transport of anions (negatively charged atoms or molecules) across cell membranes is a process that is crucial for the proper functioning of a cell. Anion transport is responsible for ...
Synthetic anion binders could one day help treat the chronic lung disease. A University at Buffalo-led research team has developed molecules that could help unclog thick, sticky mucus from the lungs ...
The cation sodium and the anion chloride are normally found in most foods together as sodium chloride, also termed salt. For this reason, this report presents data on the requirements for and the ...
Researchers in Japan have developed a new carbon capture material that absorbs significantly more ...
A cation refers to an atom or a group of atoms that bear one or multiple positive electric charges. An anion refers to an atom or a group of atoms that bear one or multiple negative electric charges.
