Unlike typical Gram-positive bacteria, the cell envelope of mycobacteria is unique and
composed of a mycobacterial outer membrane, also known as the mycomembrane, a …

The existence of life beyond Earth has long captivated humanity, and the study of
extremophiles—organisms surviving and thriving in extreme environments—provides crucial …

Trehalose, a disaccharide renowned for its ability to stabilize biomolecular architectures
under strenuous conditions, finds extensive use in the cryopreservation of probiotics. A …

A lipid membrane undergoes a phase transition from fluid to gel phase upon changing
external thermodynamic conditions, such as decreasing temperature and increasing …

In this work, we delve into the impact of photoisomerization of photoswitchable lipids (PSLs)
on the membrane structure and dynamics at a molecular level. Through all-atom molecular …

Past experiments rationalized the observed dynamic heterogeneity and non-Gaussian
diffusion in living cell membranes in terms of slow-active remodeling of the underlying …

Antibiotic resistance can rapidly spread through bacterial populations via bacterial
conjugation. The bacterial membrane has an important role in facilitating conjugation, thus …

Photoswitchable lipids, particularly azobenzene‐derivatized phosphatidylcholine (azoPC)
lipids, offer a unique mechanism for reversible modification of membrane properties upon …

Wide-ranging sophisticated physiological activities of cell membranes are associated with
changes in fatty acid structure and composition. The cfa gene is a core regulator of cell …

Bacterial lipoproteins are post-translationally modified by the addition of acyl chains that
anchor the protein to bacterial membranes. This modification includes two ester-linked and …
