Hydrophobic Gating of Ion Permeation in Magnesium Channel CorA.

Ion channels catalyze ionic permeation across membranes via water-filled pores.To understand how changes in intracellular magnesium concentration regulate the influx of Mg2+ into cells, we examine early events in the relaxation of Mg2+ channel CorA toward its open Gift Cards state using massively-repeated molecular dynamics simulations conducted ei

Is It Necessary Managing Carnivores to Reverse the Decline of Endangered Prey Species? Insights from a Removal Experiment of Mesocarnivores to Benefit Demographic Parameters of the Pyrenean Capercaillie.

Mesopredator control has long been used to alleviate the effect of elevated predation pressure on vulnerable, threatened or valuable species.However, the convenience of using mesopredator controls is technically questionable and scientifically-sound research is therefore required to evaluate the impact of predation on prey case by case.In this stud
