Structural Insights into Ion Selectivity and Calcium Blockage in Cyclic Nucleotide Gated Channels
Cyclic nucleotides-gated (CNG) channels play an essential role in the visual and olfactory sensory systems and are ubiquitously expressed in a variety of neuronal and non neuronal cells. Details of their underlying ion selectivity properties are still not fully understood and a matter of debate in …

Electronic Spin Coupled Nonadiabatic Dynamics
… model systems, we find that the reaction channel selectivity can reach unity even in the presence of a moderate spin-orbit coupling. In the second part of the thesis, we propose a few extensions to Tully's fewest switches surface hopping in complex-valued Hamiltonians. The most significant …

Slab-Geometry Molecular Dynamics Simulations: Development and Application to Calculation of Activity Coefficients, Interfacial Electrochemistry, and Ion Channel Transport
… and ion transport through a model biological channel-membrane structure. The charged-sheets, 2-D Ewald, corrected 3-D Ewald, and corrected particle-particle-particle-mesh (P3M) methods were compared for efficiency and applicability to slab-geometry electrolyte systems with discrete water …

Properties of Conductance and Inhibition of Proton Channels: M2 from Influenza A Virus and Fo from Escherichia coli ATP Synthase
<p>Proton channels are essential for many of the processes of life. The influenza A viral protein M2 is responsible for sensing the conditions necessary for viral RNA release. The proton-translocating FoF1 ATPase (ATP synthase) uses a proton gradient to drive adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis. …
