ATP Driven Pumps II: P-type Pumps01:34

ATP Driven Pumps II: P-type Pumps

6.2K
The P-type pumps are a large family of integral membrane transporter ATPases. They are divided into five major types based on substrate specificity, from I to V.
A typical P-type pump has three cytosolic domains: nucleotide-binding (N), phosphorylation (P), and activator (A) domains. These domains are connected to the membrane-spanning helices by short amino acid segments. ATP hydrolysis and covalent phosphoenzyme intermediate formation are crucial parts of the catalytic cycle. At the highly...

ATP Driven Pumps III: V-type Pumps

4.7K
V-type pumps are ATP-driven pumps found in the vacuolar membranes of plants, yeast, endosomal and lysosomal membranes of animal cells, plasma membranes of a few specialized eukaryotic cells, and some prokaryotes. They are also known as the V1Vo-ATPase, that couple ATP hydrolysis to transport protons against a concentration gradient.
The peripheral or cytosolic V1 domain with eight subunits is involved in ATP hydrolysis. The integral or transmembrane V0 domain containing at least five subunits...

ATP Driven Pumps I: An Overview

9.7K
ATP-driven pumps, also known as transport ATPases, are integral membrane proteins. They have binding sites for ATP located on the membrane's cytosolic side and the ion-conducting domain in the transmembrane region. These pumps use the free energy released from ATP hydrolysis to move the solutes across cell membranes against an electrochemical gradient.
There are four main types of ATP-driven pumps - P-type, V-type, F-type, and ABC transporter. All these pumps are of varying complexities and...

Pumped Concrete01:13

Pumped Concrete

360
Concrete in large quantities can be pumped across long distances for placing in inaccessible sites. This system comprises a hopper that receives concrete from a mixer, a pump to propel the concrete, and pipelines that facilitate its delivery.
For direct-acting pumps, the concrete enters the pump via the inlet valve under the action of gravity and suction created by the movement of the piston. This concrete is then forced into the pipeline and out through the outlet valve by the forward movement...

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Physiological Models

250
Physiological models in pharmacokinetics are instrumental in understanding the distribution and elimination of drugs within the body. These models describe the drug concentration within target organs, influenced by factors such as drug uptake, tissue volume, and blood flow. Drug uptake is governed by the partition coefficient, which signifies the drug concentration ratio in tissue to that in the blood. The blood flow rate to a specific tissue is expressed as Qt, and the rate of change in tissue...

Refrigerators and Heat Pumps01:07

Refrigerators and Heat Pumps

3.0K
Refrigerators or heat pumps are heat engines operating in a reverse direction. For a refrigerator, the focus is on removing heat from a specific area, whereas, for a heat pump, the focus is on dumping heat into one particular area. A refrigerator (or heat pump) absorbs heat Qc from the cold reservoir at Kelvin temperature Tc and discards heat Qh to the hot reservoir at Kelvin temperature Th, while work W is done on the engine’s working substance.
A household refrigerator removes heat from...

Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Neuroimaging
  • Sensor Technology

Background:

  • Optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) are emerging as sensitive, portable alternatives to traditional superconducting systems for magnetoencephalography (MEG).
  • OPMs eliminate the need for cryogenic cooling, enabling direct scalp placement.
  • The distinct physical principles of OPMs introduce novel modeling challenges for sensor array design and data analysis compared to established superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) systems.

  • Testing the framework with simulated and real MEG data from both SQUID and OPM recordings, using head-casts and scanner-casts.

Main Results:

  • The proposed Bayesian framework effectively compares and optimizes OPM sensor arrays.
  • The technique successfully estimates true sensor geometry from simulated and real OPM data.
  • Demonstrated that accurate sensor geometry can be inferred from OPM data using a model comparison framework, leveraging cortical manifold information.

Conclusions:

  • The developed empirical Bayesian framework provides a robust method for optimizing OPM sensor arrays in MEG.
  • It is possible to estimate OPM sensor geometry directly from MEG data, reducing reliance on pre-acquisition localization.
  • This approach simplifies MEG system setup by potentially removing the need for precise a priori sensor positioning and co-registration procedures.
