In this data article we show the specificity of the Ca(2+)-induced mobility shift in three proteins that belong to the neuronal calcium sensor (NCS) protein family: Hippocalcin, GCAP1 and GCAP2. These proteins did not display a shift in mobility in native gels when incubated with divalent cations other than Ca(2+) - such as Mg(2+), Ba(2+), and Sr(2+), even at 10× concentrations. The data is similar to that obtained with another NCS protein, neurocalcin delta (Viviano et al., 2016, "Electrophoretic Mobility Shift in Native Gels Indicates Calcium-dependent Structural Changes of Neuronal Calcium Sensor Proteins", [1]).

The primary approach to assessing monitored natural attenuation (MNA) is currently based on a conceptual model utilizing the total contaminant concentrations, assuming a single aqueous species. However, many contaminants, such as metals and radionuclide - including iodine, can exist in multiple species that behave chemically differently in the environment and can exist simultaneously. For example, radioiodine often occurs concurrently as three major aqueous species: iodide (I), iodate (IO), and organo-I, which undergo distinct attenuation pathways and exhibit markedly different mobility and geochemical behavior.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effects of Bisphenol A (BPA) and Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) on the dynamics of biological membranes, focusing on how these persistent organic pollutants impact myeloid cell lines.
  • It was found that TBBPA specifically disrupts the plasma membrane's biophysical homeostasis, increasing mobility and decreasing order, while BPA showed no significant effects.
  • The findings highlight TBBPA's potential to impair immune function, emphasizing the environmental toxicity concerns associated with persistent organic pollutants.

Ion Networks in Water-based Li-ion Battery Electrolytes.

Acc Chem Res

January 2025

Center for Molecular Spectroscopy and Dynamics, Institute for Basic Science, Seoul 02841, Korea.

ConspectusWater-in-salt electrolytes (WiSEs) are promising electrolytes for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), offering critical advantages like nonflammability and improved safety. These electrolytes have extremely high salt concentrations and exhibit unique solvation structures and transport mechanisms dominated by the formation of ion networks and aggregates. These ion networks are central to the performance of WiSEs, govern the transport properties and stability of the electrolyte, deviating from conventional dilute aqueous or organic electrolytes.
