Scientists at Goethe University uncover how the oldest enzyme in cellular respiration functions – opening the door to ...

Ancient microbes illustrate a particular kind of respiration in which carbon dioxide and hydrogen are combined to form acetic ...

A previously unknown protein in a family of bacteria found in soil and the human gut microbiome has been discovered—which ...

A research team led by Prof. Liu Xuanyong from the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has ...

Because ATP generation depends on the formation of a proton motive force (PMF) across the plasma membrane, disruption of the PMF is likely to kill dormant bacteria. The authors showed that both ...

A team of scientists have elucidated an ancient mechanism of cellular respiration. To that end, they studied bacteria that feed on the gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and turn them into acetic acid ...

A recently identified bacterial protein structure is contributing to the design of novel anticancer drug delivery systems.

Animals, plants and many other living organisms inhale oxygen to "burn" (oxidize) compounds like sugar into CO2 and water—a ...

Actin can also break down ATP, which triggers the filaments to disassemble. Bacteria have similar proteins to actin that form filaments in the presence of ATP and help to control cell shape and ...

Technology is transforming how people monitor and maintain hygiene in critical environments like healthcare facilities and laboratories. This is where game-changing innovations like IoT come in. What ...
