On the role of water density fluctuations in the inhibition of a proton channel [Biophysics and Computational Biology]

by Eleonora Gianti, Lucie Delemotte, Michael L. Klein, Vincenzo Carnevale
Hv1 is a transmembrane four-helix bundle that transports protons in a voltage-controlled manner. Its crucial role in many pathological conditions, including cancer and ischemic brain damage, makes Hv1 a promising drug target. Starting from the recently solved crystal structure of Hv1, we used structural modeling and molecular dynamics simulations to...

Multimode optomechanical system in the quantum regime [Physics]

by William Hvidtfelt Padkar Nielsen, Yeghishe Tsaturyan, Christoffer Bo Moller, Eugene S. Polzik, Albert Schliesser
We realize a simple and robust optomechanical system with a multitude of long-lived (Q > 107) mechanical modes in a phononic-bandgap shielded membrane resonator. An optical mode of a compact Fabry–Perot resonator detects these modes’ motion with a measurement rate (96 kHz) that exceeds the mechanical decoherence rates already at...
