Methods for imaging and tracking single molecules conjugated with fluorescent probes,
called single-molecule tracking (SMT), are now providing researchers with the …

β-Barrel outer membrane proteins (OMPs) represent the major proteinaceous component of
the outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria. These proteins perform key roles in …

The mechanisms by which the diffusion rate in the plasma membrane (PM) is regulated
remain unresolved, despite their importance in spatially regulating the reaction rates in the …

Gram-negative bacteria are surrounded by two membranes. A special feature of the outer
membrane is its asymmetry. It contains lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the outer leaflet and …

Clustering of ligand: receptor complexes on the cell membrane is widely presumed to have
functional consequences for subsequent signal transduction. However, it is experimentally …

Optical microscopy has proven to be one of the most powerful tools in biology, in part
because it allows direct, noninvasive visualization of dynamic processes inside live cells. It …

Gram-negative bacteria depend on energised protein complexes that connect the two
membranes of the cell envelope. However, β-barrel outer-membrane proteins (OMPs) and α …

Physical properties of primary cilia membranes in living cells were examined using two
independent, high-spatiotemporal-resolution approaches: fast tracking of single quantum …

The ro tational s urveillance and e nergy t ransfer (ROSET) model of TonB action suggests a
mechanism by which the electrochemical proton gradient across the Gram-negative …

Diffusion within bacteria is often thought of as a “simple” random process by which
molecules collide and interact with each other. New research however shows that this is far …
