Breathing, at its core, is about moving electrons. In humans and most other organisms, oxygen acts as the final destination ...

A technique developed by Politecnico di Milano researchers is enabling scientists to control specific bacterial functions ...

Rather than being like battery chargers, mitochondria are more like the motherboard of the cell.

In bacteria, a group of proteins forms the SecYEG-SecA complex, which helps cellular proteins translocate across the cytoplasmic membrane. The SecYEG component is a channel through which SecA ...

"In a previous study, we developed an integrated vaccine formulation based on autologous tumor membrane antigens and bacterial cytoplasmic membrane adjuvants, which could achieve enhanced ...

YidC is hypothesized to facilitate membrane insertion in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria by interacting with incoming peptides through specific sites: cytoplasmic loops, hydrophobic ...

SEPs, unlike AMPs and EPs, do not permeabilize the outer membranes of bacteria. Rather, these peptides depolarize the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane, a process distinct from conventional AMPs and EPs.

The bacteria, Acinetobacter baumannii ... difficulties in getting molecules to cross the bacterial membranes to reach targets in the cytoplasm,” the researchers wrote. “Successful compounds ...

A thin peptidoglycan cell wall sandwiched between a distinctive outer membrane ... and an inner cytoplasmic bilayer forms the composite outer barrier of Gram-negative bacteria.

Gram-positive membrane vesicles (MVs; top) form from the cytoplasmic membrane and encapsulate cytoplasmic ... traits including antibiotic degrading enzymes. MVs made by these bacteria can interfere ...

The primarily single-celled organisms found in the Bacteria and Archaea ... are located in the eukaryotic cell's cytoplasm. Although only eukaryotes carry membrane-bound organelles, recent ...

Delving beneath the cell wall and membrane, bacteria contain cytoplasm, a solution of mostly water and salts. Within the cytoplasm float the nucleoid, plasmids and tiny protein factories called ...
