The function of every cell in our bodies depends on the work of proteins known as ion pumps. Several new crystal structures cast fresh light on how three different pumps deal with their distinct ...

P-type ATPases use the energy from ATP hydrolysis to pump ions across the cell membrane against a concentration gradient. They form a large family of ubiquitous membrane proteins, and carry out many ...

A research team co-led by a UC Irvine chemistry professor has built a new kind of electrochemical device that strips salt from water without relying on the terminal electrodes found in every ...
