The ability of bacteria to control the biophysical properties of their membrane phospholipids allows them to thrive in a wide range of physical environments. Fatty acid biosynthesis is an energy ...

Although each organelle has a different function, they are similar in that every one is wrapped up in a membrane. Membrane-bound organelles were the textbook standard of how scientists thought ...

The right panel shows the membrane dye channel. Credit: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (2024). DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2407083121 Actin is a long fiber, and myosin like a tiny motor ...

“Recent efforts in the field of anion exchange membrane water electrolysis focus on developing superior catalysts and membrane electrode assemblies to reduce the performance gaps compared to ...

Yet, rapid detection of LMMPs (1–10 μm) at the single-particle level within complex freshwater matrices remains a hurdle. We developed an adaptable plasmonic membrane sensor for fast detection of ...

Hydrogen: Breakthrough in alkaline membrane electrolyzers Date: October 28, 2024 Source: Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie Summary: A team has developed a highly efficient ...

Nanoporous membranes with atomic-scale holes smaller than one-billionth of a meter have powerful potential for decontaminating polluted water, pulling valuable metal ions from the water, or for ...

Plasma membrane blebs Irregular ... These include dynamin-2 (dominant-negative constructs and dynasore), myosin II (blebbistatin and ML-7), microtubules (nocodazole) and Arf6 (dominant-negative ...

The molecular motor myosin V transports cargo by stepping on actin filaments, executing a random diffusive search for actin binding sites at each step. A recent experiment suggests that the joint ...

One example is Myo7a (myosin VIIA), in which deafness mutations affect the development and function of the mechanically sensitive stereocilia of hair cells. We describe here a procedure for the ...
