Scientists have identified a new type of protein in bacteria that could change our understanding of how these organisms interact with their environments.

Biofilms are conglomerates of bacteria and other organisms, which are feared in medicine as well as other areas because they can contain pathogens and are highly resistant to treatment. Chemists ...

This valuable manuscript provides convincing evidence that BK and CaV1.3 channels can co-localize as ensembles early in the biosynthetic pathway, including in the ER and Golgi. The findings, supported ...

Scientists have studied a new target for antibiotics in the greatest detail yet – in the fight against antibiotic resistance.

The cell envelope of parietal monoderm bacteria (archetypal Gram-positive bacteria) is formed of a cytoplasmic membrane (CM) and a cell wall (CW). While the CM is composed of phospholipids, the CW is ...
