MIT chemists have discovered the structure of a protein that can pump toxic molecules out of bacterial cells. Proteins similar to this one, which is found in E. coli, are believed to help bacteria ...

PHILADELPHIA - By combining two techniques, an international team of scientists led by researchers at The Wistar Institute has derived the "quasi-atomic" structure of a common bacteriophage, a type of ...

Bacterial cell division, a process wherein a single cell divides to form two identical daughter cells, represents one of the most essential biological processes. Understanding the precise mechanism ...

Researchers used cryo-electron microscopy to reveal the structure of bacteria's 'propellers' in near atomic detail. University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers and their collaborators have ...

We showed that Ziapin2 causes special channels to open, causing electrical changes in bacterial cells. "Though in its early stages, this technique may help us in the future to better understand ...

Columbia University will award the 2012 Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize to Richard Losick, PhD, Joe Lutkenhaus, PhD, and Lucy Shapiro, PhD, for their collective work on the intricate, dynamic, ...
