The bacterial cell wall that is the target of potent antibiotics such as penicillin is actually made up of a thin single layer of carbohydrate chains, linked together by peptides, which wrap around ...
In a new study published in Nature Communications, Associate Professor Tuo Wang and his research team from the Department of Chemistry at Louisiana State University revealed the molecular architecture ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Internal tissues of mature air-dry seeds, prepared anhydrously for observation with the scanning electron microscope, exhibit cell wall ...
Scientists have mapped changes in composition of plant cell walls over space and time, providing new insights into the development and growth of all plants. The cell wall is a defining feature of ...
A primary plant cell wall network was computationally modeled using the finite element approach to study the hypothesis of hemicellulose (HC) tethering with the cellulose microfibrils (CMFs) as one of ...
Banding patterns of cellulose increase the stability of plant cell walls, much like the corrugated patterns in cardboard. Penn State biologists developed a method to isolate plant cells and observe ...
For a bacterial cell, the cell-wall is vital in determining the shape of the cell and to maintain its structural integrity. This is a unique feature of bacterial cells, and several antibiotics work by ...
This article explores how epigenetic mechanisms control gene expression, how their disruption drives cancer and how targeting ...
