How bacteria keep proteins moving

How bacteria keep proteins moving

Bacteria contain large numbers of negatively-charged proteins to avoid the electrostatic interactions with ribosomes that would dramatically reduce protein diffusion.

Video analysis is an effective tool in understanding physics and from the students’ point of view a popular activity. It sometimes occurs that movies recorded by students are not well fit for analysis: the motion may be too quick for recording with a normal camera or webcam, perspective distortion may cause problems, or manual collection of video data may be too timeconsuming. In the first case...

Why and how bacteria localize proteins.

Despite their small size, bacteria have a remarkably intricate internal organization. Bacteria deploy proteins and protein complexes to particular locations and do so in a dynamic manner in lockstep with the organized deployment of their chromosome. The dynamic subcellular localization of protein complexes is an integral feature of regulatory processes of bacterial cells.

How to keep photoreceptors alive.

O ver the last 40 years, there has been increasing success in the surgical treatment of retinal detachment in that the retinal reattachment could be achieved in a high proportion of cases but visual recovery was frequently poor. An explanation for this poor visual outcome was derived from work on experimental retinal detachment in which it was shown that photoreceptor cell death occurred becaus...
