Bactericidal effect of tetracycline in E. coli strain ED1a may be associated with ribosome dysfunction

Camille Véronique Bernadette Goemans, Christian Eugen Zimmerli, Martin Beck

Ribosomes translate the genetic code into proteins. Recent technical advances have facilitated in situ structural analyses of ribosome functional states inside eukaryotic cells and the minimal bacterium Mycoplasma. However, such analyses of Gram-negative b ...

Soft-probe-scanning electrochemical microscopy reveals electrochemical surface reactivity of E. coli biofilms

Hubert Girault, Emad Oveisi, Horst Pick, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Sorour Darvishi

Investigating and understanding dynamic biofilm growth mechanisms is challenging, often because state-of-theart optical characterization tools provide limited information. Micrometric electrochemical imaging of Escherichia coli biofilms using Soft-Probe-Sc ...

A benzamide-dependent ftsZ mutant reveals residues crucial for Z-ring assembly

David William Adams

In almost all bacteria, cell division is co-ordinated by the essential tubulin homologue FtsZ and represents an attractive but as yet unexploited target for new antibiotics. The benzamides, e.g. PC190723, are potent FtsZ inhibitors that have the potential ...

More DNA–Aptamers for Small Drugs: A Capture–SELEX Coupled with Surface Plasmon Resonance and High-Throughput Sequencing

Carlotta Guiducci, Fabio Mario Spiga

To address limitations in the production of DNA aptamers against small molecules, we introduce a DNA-based capture-SELEX (systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment) protocol with long and continuous randomized library for more flexibility, ...

Stochastic Algorithm and Analysis of amino-acyl-tRNA Competition in Translation

Adam Stefaniuk

This work deals with the creation of a stochastic algorithm for aa-tRNA competition during translation using an abstraction of the biological model. The major challenges were to manage aa-tRNA specie specific input information in order to deal with eventua ...

Amine- and carboxyl-quantum dots affect membrane integrity of bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34

The present study examines the interaction of amine- and carboxyl- PEG core/shell quantum dots (QDs) with metal resistant bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34. The evolution of the number of QDs, their hydrodynamic radius, diffusion coefficients and si ...
