The activation of taste receptors by various food molecules triggers specific pathways, resulting in the sensation of taste. The association of chloride ion, a component of table salt, with a ...

Being on the other side of the retinal molecule now, the chloride ion has reached a point of no return. From here, it goes only further inside the cell.

When an atom loses or gains an electron, it is called an ion. The atom that loses an electron becomes a positive ion. The atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion. A positive and negative ...

Chloride Insertion Enhances the Electrochemical Oxidation of Iron Hydroxide Double-Layer Hydroxide into Oxyhydroxide in Alkaline Iron Batteries. Chemistry of Materials, 2023; DOI: 10.1021/acs ...

Chloride ion–pumping rhodopsin (ClR) in some marine bacteria utilizes light energy to actively transport Cl⁻ into cells. How the ClR initiates the transport is elusive. Here, we show the dynamics of ...

Chloride-contaminated archaeological iron is unstable and problematic to store and display within museum collections. Reducing its chloride ion content using aqueous desalination followed by storage ...

RIKEN biochemists have discovered how a miniscule pump in a marine microbe shuttles negative ions into the cell by changing shape when activated by light 1. As well as providing insights into how ...
