Structural biologists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison today published cryo-electron microscopy structures of the complete bacterial DNA replication restart complex — a molecular machine that le ...

The Na+-NQR enzyme is vital for energy production in pathogenic bacteria like the one that causes cholera, making it a highly ...

Structural patterns can be created due to the chasing interactions between two bacterial species. In a new model, scientists describe how interactions on the individual level can result in a global ...

A project at the University of Tokyo has developed a mid-infrared microscopy platform offering an improved view of structures inside living bacteria. Described in Nature Photonics, the new nanoscope ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American Quick, can you describe your grandparents?

Scientists at Stanford University have discovered that DRT3, a unique defense system found in bacteria, creates DNA to protect against viral infections. DRT3 is made up of two different enzymes called ...

Even organisms without brains can remember their past: Scientists found that Escherichia coli bacteria form their own kind of memories of exposure to nutrients. They pass these memories down to future ...
