UKRI BBSRC NEEDL NLD: Myco-membrane physics: Mechanical properties of a unique bacterial outer membrane

Bacteria are under pressure. A lot of pressure. In fact, the inside of bacteria is so densely packed with biomolecules that some species are under more than 30 atmospheres of pressure pushing outward! To prevent themselves from exploding, bacteria build a rigid structure around themselves called the cell envelope. Read more

Investigating the molecular grammar of biomolecular condensates through single-molecule biophysics

Many cell types exhibit liquid-like biomolecular condensates (https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aaf4382), however, the interplay between their assembly, “molecular grammar” by which the sequences, structures and interactions of biomolecules determine and the microenvironment assemble into condensates govern the resulting functional properties remains a fascinating mystery.
