TL;DR: The application of numerical methods are presented to enable the trivially parallel solution of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation for supramolecular structures that are orders of magnitude larger in size.

TL;DR: The zeptolitre sensing volume of bilayer-coated solid-state nanopores can be used to determine the approximate shape, volume, charge, rotational diffusion coefficient and dipole moment of individual proteins.

TL;DR: An electric-eel-inspired power concept that uses gradients of ions between miniature polyacrylamide hydrogel compartments bounded by a repeating sequence of cation- and anion-selectivehydrogel membranes suggests that artificial electric organs could be used to power next-generation implant materials such as pacemakers, implantable sensors, or prosthetic devices in hybrids of living and non-living systems.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the trimer is the size of the critical nucleus, and the rate constants produce polymerization plots that agree very well with experimental results over a range of actin monomer concentrations.

TL;DR: A diverse and unrelated group of proteins interact with CP through a conserved 'capping protein interaction' (CPI) motif, and these proteins recruit CP to specific subcellular locations and modulate its actin-capping activity via allosteric effects.
