introduction: cadmium is a heavy metal with high toxicity and is best known as a carcinogen element. for protecting human health and environment it is necessary to remove excess cadmium from industrial wastewater before discharging it to surface and ground water. in this study the efficiency of zinc oxides nanoparticles in cadmium removal from aqueous solution was evaluated. methods: this is a ...

GLIC is a bacterial member of the large family of pentameric ligand-gated ion channels. To study ion conduction through GLIC and other membrane channels, we combine the one-dimensional potential of mean force for ion passage with a Smoluchowski diffusion model, making it possible to calculate single-channel conductance in the regime of low ion concentrations from all-atom molecular dynamics (MD...

a study of physiological responses of different wheat cultivars to saline conditions can lead to an identification of the main mechanisms in salt tolerance. seven bread wheat cultivars differing in salt tolerance with varying ability of sodium accumulation in their different tissues were employed to assess ion distribution and sodium accumulation under saline conditions. ion distribution and na...
