The stability of 3 transmembrane and 4 transmembrane human vitamin K epoxide reductase models
3 transmembrane and 4 transmembrane helices models are suggested for the human vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR). In this study, we investigate the stability of the human 3 transmembrane/4 transmembrane VKOR models employing a coarse-grained normal mode analysis and molecular dynamics simulation. Based on the analysis of the mobility of each transmembrane domain, we suggest that the 3 transmembrane human VKOR model is more stable than the 4 transmembrane human VKOR model.

Molecular mechanism of anion permeation through aquaporin 6
Aquaporins (AQPs) are recognized as transmembrane water channels that facilitate selective water permeation through their monomeric pores. Among the AQP family, AQP6 has a unique characteristic as an anion channel, which…
Nerve impulse propagation and wavelet theory
A luminous stimulus which penetrates in a retina is converted to a nerve message. Ganglion cells give a response that may be approximated by a wavelet. We determine a function PSI which is associated with the propagation…
