“After about a decade of looking at the bacterial cell wall with AFM, I managed to image individual molecular sugar chains,” Turner stated on Twitter. Lead author Robert Turner achieved a breakthrough ...
The bacterial cell wall that is the target of potent antibiotics such as penicillin is actually made up of a ... These pictures are 3-D images to molecular resolution--you can actually start to ...
Scientists from the University of Sheffield have produced the first high-resolution images of the structure of the cell wall of bacteria, in a study that could further understanding of antimicrobial ...
Scientists have produced the first high-resolution images of the structure of the cell wall of bacteria, ... The architecture of the Gram-positive bacterial cell wall. Nature, 2020; DOI: 10.1038 ...
The figure illustrates bacterial cell wall synthesis as mediated by an enzyme called MraY (yellow/green). The enzyme modifies the cell wall building blocks (bricks) with a carrier lipid (cyan) so ...
ASU professor Glen D’Souza joined The Show to speak more about what he’s discovered about these bacteria: Not only will ...
Cell wall synthesis plays a key role in bacterial growth: the cell division protein FtsZ forms the so-called Z-ring in the center of the cell, thus initiating the division process.
