Probing Transport Mechanisms in Nanofluids by Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Enhanced thermal conduction in nanofluids is an observed phenomenon for which the underlying mechanistic processes are still being debated. We perform molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the time-dependent heat current correlation to obtain the systematic, dynamical details at the atomistic level. Using a model system of Xe base fluid and Pt nanoparticles, we obtain the enhancement effects w...
متن کاملWater transport in aquaporins: molecular dynamics simulations.
Aquaporins and aquaglyceroporins are membrane channel proteins that selectively transport water and small molecules such as glycerol across biological membranes. Molecular dynamics simulations have made substantial contributions toward understanding the permeation mechanisms of aquaporins in atomic detail. Osmotic pressure is the driving force of the transport by aquaporins. The osmotic water p...

متن کاملMechanisms of ammonia and ammonium transport by rhesus-associated glycoproteins.
In this study we characterized ammonia and ammonium (NH3/NH4(+)) transport by the rhesus-associated (Rh) glycoproteins RhAG, Rhbg, and Rhcg expressed in Xenopus oocytes. We used ion-selective microelectrodes and two-electrode voltage clamp to measure changes in intracellular pH, surface pH, and whole cell currents induced by NH3/NH4(+) and methyl amine/ammonium (MA/MA(+)). These measurements al...
متن کاملAmmonia acquisition in enteric bacteria: physiological role of the ammonium/methylammonium transport B (AmtB) protein.
Homologues of the amtB gene of enteric bacteria exist in all three domains of life. Although their products are required for transport of the ammonium analogue methylammonium in washed cells, only in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have they been shown to be necessary for growth at low NH4+ concentrations. We now demonstrate that an amtB strain of Escherichia coli also grows slowly at low NH4+ concent...
