PHILADELPHIA - By combining two techniques, an international team of scientists led by researchers at The Wistar Institute has derived the "quasi-atomic" structure of a common bacteriophage, a type of ...

Zinc sits at the heart of many bacterial enzymes, so one of our immune system's simplest defenses is to keep zinc out of ...

Bacteria are also able to communicate with each other through chemical signals, a behavior known as quorum signaling (QS). These chemical signals spread through a biofilm that colonies of bacteria ...

Led by researchers from New York University, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, and NYU Langone's Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Center, the new study used advanced microscopy to "see" for the first ...

The research is opening new frontiers in pest control and evolutionary biology. An international group of scientists has uncovered a strange tubular structure within Profftella, a bacterium that lives ...

An international team of scientists, funded in the UK by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), has uncovered the structure of the protective protein coat which surrounds ...

Short peptides can self-assemble into net-like structures that kill bacteria. Now, researchers have discovered how to control ...

MIT chemists have discovered the structure of a protein that can pump toxic molecules out of bacterial cells. Proteins similar to this one, which is found in E. coli, are believed to help bacteria ...

A recently identified bacterial protein, named BeeR, is contributing to the design of novel anticancer drug delivery systems. Researchers from King’s College London (UK) and the University of ...
