Nature inspires first artificial molecular pump Date: May 19, 2015 Source: Northwestern University Summary: Using nature for inspiration, scientists have developed an entirely artificial molecular ...

The pumps secrete mycobactin molecules that then tightly bind external iron. The microbial pathogen then uses other molecular machinery to carry the mycobactins and their iron cargoes back into ...

The pump could pave the way for future researchers to design devices that operate on a molecular level, such as artificial muscles. Chemistry Prof. Fraser Stoddart, the study’s senior author ...

Artificial molecular machines now come in a dizzying variety of forms, including motors, pumps, and data-reading ratchets. While some machines are powered by light, a growing number are driven by ...

Bacteria are fast developing resistance to our best drugs, leaving us poised on the edge of a major health crisis. But a new antibiotic has shown promise against several key “superbugs,” while ...

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.
