Budding dynamics of individual domains in multicomponent membranes simulated by N-varied dissipative particle dynamics.

TL;DR: The simulations show that budding duration is shortened with increasing line tension and depends on the domain size quadratically, whereas at low line tension, increasing bending modulus accelerates budding at first, but suppresses the process as it increases further.

Molecular Basis of an Inherited Form of Incomplete Achromatopsia

TL;DR: It is argued that alterations in the genes encoding the CNGA3 and CNGB3 subunits of the cyclic nucleotide-gated channel of cone photoreceptors are responsible for the perturbations in light sensitivity and synaptic transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electro-osmosis at inhomogeneous charged surfaces: hydrodynamic versus electric friction.

TL;DR: This work investigates electro-osmosis driven by electric-field-induced ion motion near a charged planar substrate with smooth or rough boundary and derives the effective electrokinetic surface charge from the electro-OSmotic solvent profiles, which is substantially reduced when compared with the bare value and shows qualitative agreement with the experimental tendency.

Diffusion of the Second Messengers in the Cytoplasm Acts as a Variability Suppressor of the Single Photon Response in Vertebrate Phototransduction

TL;DR: A previously generated and tested spatiotemporal mathematical and computational model is used to identify possible mechanisms of variability reduction in vertebrate phototransduction, and shows that the activation cascade is responsible for generation of variability, whereas diffusion of the second messengers isresponsible for its suppression.
