Deinococcus radiodurans (D. radiodurans) is distinguished by the most radioresistant
organism ever known, and can tolerate extreme environments such as ionizing radiation …

The ability of Deinococcus bacteria to survive in harsh environments, such as high radiation,
extreme temperature, and dryness, is mainly attributed to the generation of unique pigments …

Background Despite the immense importance of transmembrane proteins (TMP) for
molecular biology and medicine, experimental 3D structures for TMPs remain about 4–5 …

Deinococcus radiodurans is an atypical diderm bacterium with a remarkable ability to
tolerate various environmental stresses, due in part to its complex cell envelope …

Biological life depends on motion, and this manifests itself in proteins that display motion
over a formidable range of time scales spanning from femtoseconds vibrations of atoms at …

Surface layers (S-layers) are highly ordered coats of proteins localized on the cell surface of
many bacterial species. In these structures, one or more proteins form elementary units that …

The outer membrane (OM) in diderm, or Gram-negative, bacteria must be tethered to
peptidoglycan for mechanical stability and to maintain cell morphology. Most diderm phyla …

Purpose Deinococcus radiodurans is an extremely radioresistant bacterium characterized
by D10 of 10 kGy, and able to grow luxuriantly under chronic ionizing radiation of 60 Gy/h …

The extremophile bacterium D. radiodurans boasts a distinctive cell envelope characterized
by the regular arrangement of three protein complexes. Among these, the Type II Secretion …

Deinococcus radiodurans is known for its remarkable ability to withstand harsh stressful
