Biogenesis of the Gram-Negative Bacterial Envelope

Biogenesis of the Gram-Negative Bacterial Envelope

polar periplasmic domains of integral inner membrane proteins. Most are synthesized in precursor form (“preThe cell envelope of gram-negative bacteria is a 3-layproteins”) with an amino-terminal leader (signal, pre-) ered structure consisting of a bilayer-based plasma sequence (Randall and Hardy, 1989) preceeding their membrane, a periplasm of soluble proteins, peptidogly“mature” domain. Leader...

Biogenesis of the gram-negative bacterial outer membrane.

The cell envelope of gram-negative bacteria consists of two membranes, the inner and the outer membrane, that are separated by the periplasm. The outer membrane consists of phospholipids, lipopolysaccharides, integral membrane proteins, and lipoproteins. These components are synthesized in the cytoplasm or at the inner leaflet of the inner membrane and have to be transported across the inner me...

Cell Envelope Structure and Functions in Gram-negative Bacteria

Synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial properties of CuO nanoparticles against gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial strains

Nano structured materials have wide range of applications due to their interesting size-dependent chemical and physical properties compared to particles of size in the range of micrometer. Copper oxide nano materials are of interest on account of their potential uses in many technological fields. In this study  CuO nanoparticles were synthesized via simple sol gel method using basic CuSO4<...
