Northwestern scientists have developed an artificial molecular pump, a device that simulates a mechanism allowing cells to metabolize and store energy. The pump could pave the way for future ...

A new molecular pump capable of pumping other small molecules up an energy gradient has been developed by researchers at Northwestern University in the US. The new pump is very much like the protein ...

Understanding biomolecular mechanism crucial to life: Calcium pumps in our cells Date: November 10, 2017 Source: Aarhus University Summary: Our cells move energy and matter to the places it is needed.

Cells are actually able to get around the effects of medication by kicking it out; cancer cells are especially known for this striking behavior, with chemo | Cell And Molecular Biology. toggle ...

Proteins charged with transportation across a cell's membrane tend to be picky, accepting only particular types of cargo, in some cases a single molecule. Sometimes cells resist medication by ...

Each time a cell divides, a small section of each chromosome's protective cap—the telomere—is worn away. Most cells use an ...

A Danish-British research team has discovered a turbo switch in the vital calcium pump in our body's cells. In studies at the X-ray source DORIS at Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotorn DESY in Hamburg ...

The proteins MmpL5 and MmpL4 are efflux transporters, critical pumps that help the pathogen M. tuberculosis grow by scavenging essential iron from the iron-deprived lung granulomas of its human host.

In a recent study, researchers leveraged molecular jackhammering on cells induced by single-photon NIR light. They found that turning on the vibronic mode of aminocyanines connected to the cell ...

A new study into the molecular mechanisms underlying hair growth has found that aging cells may be key. Their findings potentially open the door to developing new hair loss treatments that harness ...

The molecular structure of the MmpL4 efflux pump in Mycobacterium tuberculosis reveals a coiled-coil domain essential for exporting the siderophore mycobactin and for bedaquiline resistance.
