The assembly of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) in Gram-negative bacteria is a critical process that ensures the integrity and functionality of the bacterial outer membrane. This membrane serves as ...

The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria is a complex structure that plays a crucial role in protecting the cell from environmental threats, including antibiotics. A key component of this ...

Light and electron microscopy have distinct limitations. Light microscopy makes it difficult to resolve smaller and smaller ...

Second, the cell walls of gram-negative bacteria are surrounded by an outer membrane that has different properties than the inner membrane encased by the wall. This outer membrane is involved in ...

The development of nanodrugs targeting multidrug-resistant bacteria, while sparing the beneficial constituents of the microbiome, has emerged as a promising approach to combat disease and curb the ...

It works by interfering with a bacterium’s ability to make its outer lipid layer, its skin, so to speak. “If you disrupt the synthesis of the bacterial outer membrane, the bacteria cannot survive ...

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living ...

MlaA, which in the cell is bound to another outer membrane protein called a porin, removes outer leaflet phospholipids and functions like a membrane vacuum cleaner that maintains the important ...
