Peptidoglycan Remodeling Enables Escherichia coli To Survive Severe Outer Membrane Assembly Defect

mBio, 2019
Gram-negative bacteria have a tripartite cell envelope with the cytoplasmic membrane (CM), a stress-bearing peptidoglycan (PG) layer, and the asymmetric outer membrane (OM) containing lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the outer leaflet.

Assembly of β-barrel proteins into bacterial outer membranes

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2014
Membrane proteins with a β-barrel topology are found in the outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria and in the plastids and mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. The assembly of these membrane proteins depends on a protein folding reaction (to create the barrel) and an insertion reaction (to integrate the barrel within the outer membrane).

Atomic‐Level Engineering of Synthetic Receptors for Enhanced Virus Detection and Removal

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Advanced computational techniques are employed to design and optimize computationally designed imprinted receptors (CIRs) for virus detection and removal. CIR‐conjugated piezoelectric sensor achieves highly sensitive virus detection in water and human serum. CIR‐integrated membranes remove 100% of pathogenic viruses from contaminated water.
