Journal ArticleDOI

Water conduction through the hydrophobic channel of a carbon nanotube

Gerhard Hummer, +3 more
- 08 Nov 2001 - 
TL;DR: Observations suggest that carbon nanotubes, with their rigid nonpolar structures, might be exploited as unique molecular channels for water and protons, with the channel occupancy and conductivity tunable by changes in the local channel polarity and solvent conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (4th edition)

Daniel J. Klionsky, +2983 more
- 08 Feb 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a set of guidelines for investigators to select and interpret methods to examine autophagy and related processes, and for reviewers to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of reports that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

System-Size Dependence of Diffusion Coefficients and Viscosities from Molecular Dynamics Simulations with Periodic Boundary Conditions

In-Chul Yeh, +1 more
- 15 Sep 2004 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the system-size dependence of translational diffusion coefficients and viscosities in molecular dynamics simulations under periodic boundary conditions was studied. But the authors focused on the effect of the number of particles in the simulation box.
Journal ArticleDOI

Free energy reconstruction from nonequilibrium single-molecule pulling experiments.

Gerhard Hummer, +1 more
- 27 Mar 2001 - 
TL;DR: It is shown how equilibrium free energy profiles can be extracted rigorously from repeated nonequilibrium force measurements on the basis of an extension of Jarzynski's remarkable identity between free energies and the irreversible work.
Journal ArticleDOI

Osmotic water transport through carbon nanotube membranes

Amrit Kalra, +2 more
- 02 Sep 2003 - 
TL;DR: The observed flow rates are high, comparable to those through the transmembrane protein aquaporin-1, and are practically independent of the length of the nanotube, in contrast to predictions of macroscopic hydrodynamics.
