Lipoproteins are essential components of the outer cell membranes of bacteria and play vital roles in bacterial life. These complex structures made of proteins and lipids are synthesized by three ...

Bacterial lipoproteins are essential components of the cell envelope, serving diverse roles that range from maintaining membrane integrity to mediating virulence and antibiotic resistance. These ...

The cells of R. rubrum (wild type) are naturally spirally curved. Without the gene that codes for the lipoprotein PapS, they take on a straight shape. The curvature of the cells is achieved by a ...

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...
