Abstract: Gramicidin A (gA) is a hydrophobic pentadecapeptide readily incorporating into a planar bilayer lipid membrane (BLM), thereby inducing a large macroscopic current across BLM. This current results from ion-channel formation due to head-to-head transbilayer dimerization… read more here.

Abstract: Bi-pantographic fabrics are composed of two families of pantographic beams and correspond to a class of architectured materials that are described in plane as second-gradient 2D continua. On a discrete level, a pantographic beam is… read more here.
