A key feature of this process is natural competence, the ability of bacteria to take up free DNA from their surroundings. V. cholerae becomes naturally competent when it grows on chitinous surfaces, a ...
Like most bacteria, Vibrio cholerae lives under constant attack from viruses. To survive, bacteria equip themselves with ...
EPFL researchers show that cholera bacteria can exchange protective genes, including antiviral immune systems, when they live in aquatic environments. The finding helps explain how these pathogens ...
Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...
In an ambitious collaboration, researchers added 1.8 million high-confidence protein complex structure predictions to the AlphaFold Database, accelerating molecular biology research.
A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of the chemical characteristics. Many ...
As it does so, a 3D printer system prints a rigid back structure to the blanket array membrane. As it does so, the hard UV radiation of space rapidly cures the resin, making it hard. This means a ...
