Visualizing macromolecules inside bacteria at a high spatial resolution has remained a
challenge owing to their small size and limited resolution of optical microscopy techniques …

Cryo-focused ion beam milling of frozen-hydrated cells and subsequent cryo-electron
tomography (cryo-ET) has enabled the structural elucidation of macromolecular complexes …

Abstract The Electron Microscopy Data Bank (EMDB) is the global public archive of three-
dimensional electron microscopy (3DEM) maps of biological specimens derived from …

The abuse of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multidrug-resistant microbial
pathogens, presenting a pressing challenge in global healthcare. Membrane-disrupting …

Chemotaxis signaling pathways enable bacteria to sense and respond to their chemical
environment and, in some species, are critical for lifestyle processes such as biofilm …

Bacterial spores owe their incredible resistance capacities to molecular structures that
protect the cell content from external aggressions. Among the determinants of resistance are …

Advances in cryogenic electron microscopy (cryoEM) single particle analysis have
revolutionized structural biology by facilitating the in vitro determination of atomic-and near …

Vibrio (Aliivibrio) fischeri's initial rise to fame derived from its alluring production of blue-
green light. Subsequent studies to probe the mechanisms underlying this bioluminescence …

Bacteria divide by binary fission. The protein machine responsible for this process is the
divisome, a transient assembly of more than 30 proteins in and on the surface of the …

Abstract EF-hand Ca 2+-binding proteins (CBPs), such as S100 proteins (S100s) and
calmodulin (CaM), are signaling proteins that undergo conformational changes upon …
