Here, we present structures of native protein complexes, in which HflK/C instead forms an asymmetric nautilus-shaped assembly with an entryway for membrane-embedded substrates to reach and be engaged ...

The ability of bacteria to control the biophysical properties of their membrane phospholipids allows them to thrive in a wide range of physical environments. Fatty acid biosynthesis is an energy ...

Recently, a research team found a new way to control the magnetic reversal in a special material called Co 3 Sn 2 S 2, a Weyl semimetal. The team was led by Prof. Qu Zhe from the Hefei Institutes ...

While cost asymmetry has always played a role in tactical warfare, we now face more strategic questions because it is so cheap to attack and so expensive to defend. U.S., European, and Israeli air ...

If you're keen to save on your setup, the best membrane keyboards can help you stay nimble on the battlefield without breaking the bank. These decks won't hold up to their premium mechanical ...

When you drink a nice refreshing glass of water, do you ever think, "Gee, I'm glad that polymeric desalination membrane did its job!" Probably not, but maybe you should. Those thin polyamide ...

Beijing National Laboratory for Molecular Sciences, CAS Key Laboratory of Molecular Recognition and Function, Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China University of ...

Cells contain a plethora of structurally diverse lipid species, which are unevenly distributed across the different cellular membrane compartments. Some of these lipid species require vesicular ...

Difficult to manage, the use of membrane separation processes (MSP) is an interesting option for the treatment of oily effluents, separating oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions with high efficiency.

Asymmetry stress between outer and inner leaflet builds up as the lipopeptides enter the outer leaflet and when it reaches a system-specific stability threshold, it causes a transient membrane failure ...
