The cost-effective, easy-to-use T7 expression system has been integral to Escherichia coli protein production since its introduction in 1986. Now, a just-developed enhancement is making it even better ...

The host cell system is a critical determinant of recombinant protein quality and yield, with direct influence on protein ...

Scientists have identified a new type of protein in bacteria that could change our understanding of how these organisms interact with their environments. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci ...

To study pattern formation, researchers used a method called the landscape-flux framework — which can be extended to other ...

An international team of scientists have used advanced microscopy to image how ribosomes recruit to mRNA. Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new synthetic approach that turbocharges bacteria into producing more of a specific protein, even proteins that would normally destroy them, ...

An unexpected find has enabled important progress to be made in the battle against harmful bacteria. An international team of researchers, led by Professor Peter Fineran from the University of Otago, ...

The Min protein system prevents abnormal cell division in bacteria by forming oscillating patterns between the ends of a cell ("poles"). Despite decades of theoretical work, predicting the protein ...

An antidote for carbon monoxide poisoning could come from bacteria. Mice treated with a tweaked version of a bacterial protein rapidly cleared carbon monoxide from their blood, safely eliminating it ...
