Bacterial lipoproteins are essential components of the cell envelope, serving diverse roles that range from maintaining membrane integrity to mediating virulence and antibiotic resistance. These ...

The assembly of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) in Gram-negative bacteria is a fundamental process that underpins bacterial viability and resilience. Central to this process is the β-barrel assembly ...

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...

A team led by UCL (University College London) and Imperial College London researchers has shown for the first time how life-saving antibiotics called polymyxins pierce the armor of harmful bacteria.

Electron microscopy has become a vital tool in structural biology, enabling researchers to visualize biological macromolecules at near-atomic resolution. Recent advances have transformed it from a low ...
