Researchers described for the first time the structure of a bifunctional protein, called CcsBA, that transports heme and attaches it to cytochromes. The study captured two conformational states of ...
Tailed bacteriophages and herpesviruses translocate their genome into and out of their capsid (or ‘head’) through a 12-fold symmetric portal protein assembly (or simply ‘portal’), located at a special ...
β-Barrel outer membrane proteins (OMPs) perform diverse functions in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and are critical for viability and pathogenesis 1,2. Folding and insertion of OMPs ...
The principle that form follows function does not only apply to design and architecture. It also applies to biology. Every organism is a universe that lives thanks to the activities of tens of ...
Design-for-assembly (DFA) and design-for-manufacture (DFM) techniques can be applied to products assembled manually or automatically or manufactured by specific techniques, such as machining, die ...
