Photosynthesis, the natural process of converting sunlight energy into chemical energy and generating molecular oxygen, is a ...

Several key moments in Earth's history help us humans answer the question "How did we get here?" These moments also shed ...

Electron microscopy reveals the formation of VDAC-1 multimers, an observation that is consistent with results obtained in native mitochondrial outer membranes. High-resolution NMR spectroscopy ...

Abstract: Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) is a key pathogen in periodontal disease, releasing outer membrane vesicles (OMV) enriched with small RNAs (sRNA). This study presents an image processing ...

Specialized transporters in the outer chloroplast membrane must convey those proteins into the chloroplast. A new paper in Science Advances by Gyeong Mee Yoon, associate professor of botany and plant ...

We propose that one biological rationale for such high thermodynamic stabilities is that the OMP free energy of folding serves as the energy sink for the cellular sorting process that sends ...

In nature, shell structures are ubiquitous, serving as a protective layers for soft-bodied organisms; turtle shells and sea shells, to human skulls, and even the outer membranes of viruses and ...
