Using high magnification imaging, a team of researchers has identified several never before seen structures in bacteria that represent molecular machinery. Using high magnification imaging, a team of ...

Evo’s success wasn’t limited to proteins. When they tested a different toxin that had an RNA-based inhibitor, the system ...

A new function-based sequencing technique using optical tweezers and taking advantage of the properties of gravity is letting researchers analyze bacteria cells one by one. The study, conducted by ...

Scientists have harnessed the potential of bacteria to help build advanced synthetic cells which mimic real life functionality. Scientists have harnessed the potential of bacteria to help build ...

For bacteria, the first line of defense is the cell wall, which keeps toxins such as antibiotics out. Now, researchers have discovered a key mechanism that bacteria use to build their cell walls, ...

The moment of death for the bacteria. A scanning electron microscopy image of the MOF structure puncturing the bacteria. The ...

DNA ligase D (LigD) is a large polyfunctional protein that participates in a recently discovered pathway of nonhomologous endjoining in bacteria. LigD consists of an ATP-dependent ligase domain fused ...

SYNTHETIC cells made by combining components of Mycoplasma bacteria with a chemically synthesised genome can grow and divide into cells of uniform shape and size, just like most natural bacterial ...
