Researchers found three bacteriophages disable MurJ, a key cell wall transporter, by locking it outward-facing. This blocks peptidoglycan synthesis, killing bacteria and revealing a new antibiotic ...

Creative BioMart, a leading provider of biotechnological services specializing in protein research products and services, has officially launched its detergent micelle platform. This specialized ...

Biochemists at Caltech have identified how viruses have converged on a method for killing bacteria. The researchers have homed in on an underexplored small transporter called MurJ that is a vital part ...

Scientists at MIT have found compelling chemical evidence that Earth’s earliest animals were likely ancient sea sponges. Hidden inside rocks over 541 million years old are rare molecular “fingerprints ...

A Caltech-led team of biochemists has homed in on an underexplored small transporter called MurJ that is a vital part of the pathway bacteria use to ...

Researchers are piecing together the unusual chemical reactions that enable dinoflagellates to create spectacular light ...

A derivative of vitamin A, retinol accelerates cell turnover and stimulates collagen production. These two natural processes slow noticeably in men after their early 30s. So, you need external help.

Researchers discover that hearing-essential proteins (TMC1/TMC2) also regulate cell membranes, and their malfunction is a primary cause of permanent hearing loss.

Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes. These droplet-like dynamic assemblies control the way in which DNA is turned into ...

Scientists have uncovered an elegant biophysical trick that tuberculosis-causing bacteria use to survive inside human cells, ...

Biomolecular condensates were long believed to be simple liquid blobs inside cells. Researchers have now uncovered that some are actually supported by fine protein filaments forming an internal ...

Growing tissues can crack, break, and dissociate to form structures that can later withstand immense forces.
