Researchers have captured a bacterial enzyme in the act of encircling collagen and pulling a single strand through its ...

Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACXP) ("Acurx" or the "Company"), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a new class of small molecule antibiotics for difficult‑to‑treat bacterial ...

Researchers found that SMC proteins drive bacterial DNA separation by compacting chromosomes lengthwise, generating repulsive ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows cytoplasm (blue cubes), mRNA degradation machinery molecules (pink), and sugar transporters (brown). Right half adds the membrane ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) say they hope to eventually open-source a new tool for rapidly and inexpensively replicating complex cyber ...

I made iron using bacteria and natural methods. Unconventional techniques allowed extraction of usable iron from natural sources. Supreme Court delivers major blow to Trump-era rule Leaked emails ...

DNA replication is a semi-conservative process in which half of the newly synthesized strands (daughters) are derived from the original strands (mothers). The confirmation of semi-conservative ...

Vibrio vulnificus is a life-threatening marine bacterium, increasingly linked to seafood consumption and wound infections, especially in vulnerable people. Its geographic range and public health ...

Prevention remains critical; but once symptoms appear, treatment options are extremely limited. Because rabies hides behind a complex molecular shield, it is nearly impossible to fight. “For more than ...
