crystal structure of the natural anion conducting channelrhodopsin gtacr1
Nature, 2018Co-Authors: Keitaro Yamashita, Hideaki E Kato, Charu Ramakrishnan, Keiichi Inoue, Lief E Fenno, Kathryn E Evans, Joseph M Paggi, Ron O DrorAbstract:The naturally occurring channelrhodopsin variant anion channelrhodopsin-1 (ACR1), discovered in the cryptophyte algae Guillardia theta, exhibits large light-gated anion conductance and high anion selectivity when expressed in heterologous settings, properties that support its use as an optogenetic tool to inhibit neuronal firing with light. However, molecular insight into ACR1 is lacking owing to the absence of structural information underlying light-gated anion conductance. Here we present the crystal structure of G. theta ACR1 at 2.9 A resolution. The structure reveals unusual architectural features that span the extracellular domain, retinal-binding pocket, Schiff-base region, and anion-conduction pathway. Together with electrophysiological and spectroscopic analyses, these findings reveal the fundamental molecular basis of naturally occurring light-gated anion conductance, and provide a framework for designing the next generation of optogenetic tools. The crystal structure of anion channelrhodopsin-1 (ACR1) from the algae Guillardia theta provides insights into the basis of anion conductance.

sinus lift with guided bone regeneration or anorganic bovine bone 1 year post loading results of a pilot randomised clinical trial
European Journal of Oral Implantology, 2010Co-Authors: Marco Esposito, Maurizio Piattelli, Roberto Pistilli, Gerardo Pellegrino, Pietro FeliceAbstract:PURPOSE: To compare the efficacy of two different techniques for maintaining the space beneath a maxillary lining lifted using a lateral window approach: rigid synthetic resorbable barriers versus granular anorganic bovine bone. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten partially edentulous patients having bilaterally 1 to 5 mm of residual bone height and at least 5 mm bone width below the maxillary sinuses, were randomised in a split-mouth study design, to receive a rigid Inion GTR Biodegradable Membrane System barrier without any graft on one side and 100% loosely packed granular Bio-Oss on the contralateral side following a lateral window, two-stage, sinus lift procedure. After 6 months, two or three implants were inserted at each side and submerged for 4 months. Implants were loaded with provisional acrylic prostheses and replaced, after 4 months, by definitive metal-ceramic prostheses cemented with provisional cement. Outcome measures were implant and prosthetic failures, any complication and peri-implant marginal bone level changes assessed by a blinded outcome assessor. All patients were followed up to 1 year after loading. RESULTS: One patient dropped out after implant placement. One distal implant failed at the Inion side just before delivery of the definitive prosthesis, which was cut and maintained as a single crown. Four complications occurred in three patients at Inion sites (two sinus lining perforations, one fracture of the ceramic cusp of the definitive prosthesis, one iatrogenic peri-implantitis) versus two complications at Bio-Oss sites (one sinus lining perforation and one iatrogenic peri-implantitis). There were no differences for failures or complications between groups; however, in one of the patients where a perforation occurred at the Inion site, at implant placement, the sinus was filled two-thirds with soft tissue and the site was retreated with Bio-Oss. There were no statistically significant differences in bone loss between groups. One year after loading, Inion sides lost an average of 1.5 mm of periimplant bone and Bio-Oss sides about 1.7 mm. CONCLUSIONS: A bone graft may not be needed to augment atrophic maxillary sinuses since it is sufficient to keep space with a rigid barrier; however, it may be simpler to fill sinuses with a bone substitute than positioning a rigid barrier to maintain space.

identification of selective ion exchange resin for fluoride sorption
Joint International Conference on Information Sciences, 2007Co-Authors: Sankaran Meenakshi, Natrayasamy ViswanathanAbstract:Abstract The defluoridation capacity (DC) of a chelating resin, namely Indion FR 10 (IND), and Ceralite IRA 400 (CER), an anion-exchange resin, were compared under various equilibrating conditions for the identification of selective sorbent. The results showed that chelating resin is more selective than an anion-exchange resin for fluoride removal. The fluoride sorption was reasonably explained using Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms. The surface morphology of resins before and after fluoride sorption was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used for the determination of functional groups responsible for fluoride sorption. Various thermodynamic parameters such as Δ G 0 , Δ H 0 , Δ S 0 , and E a have been calculated to understand the nature of sorption. The sorption kinetic mechanism was studied with reaction-based and diffusion-based models. The sorption process was found to be controlled by pseudo-second-order and particle diffusion models. The performance of the resins studied has been tested with field samples collected from a fluoride-endemic area.
