Interaction of cysteine-rich cationic antimicrobial peptides with intact bacteria and model membranes [PDF]
Antimicrobial peptides are small proteins that exhibit a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity. Their chemical structure allows them to interact (attach and insert) with membranes.

Bioanalytical TERS and Advanced Data Processing Methods
Tip‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy delivers label‐free, subnanometer vibrational imaging of biological systems. Recent advances in instrumentation, data analysis, and ambient/liquid operation enable surface‐selective mapping of molecular heterogeneity in proteins, nucleic acids, membranes, and viruses, positioning TERS as a powerful platform for nanoscale

Structure analysis of biologically important prokaryotic glycopolymers [PDF]
Of the many post-translational modifications organisms can undertake, glycosylation is the most prevalent and the most diverse. The research in this thesis focuses on the structural characterisation of glycosylation in two classes of glycopolymer (

ABSTRACT Coronaviruses, among other membrane‐enveloped viruses, can remain infectious on surfaces in ambient air for days. Many bacteria and fungi also expose their plasma membranes to air environments. Key survival strategies in air include hydrophobic coatings to prevent water loss and waxy or silica‐based resistant cell walls.

A New Era for Using Natural Pigments: The Case of the C50 Carotenoid Called Bacterioruberin
ABSTRACT Haloarchaea are extremophilic microorganisms belonging to the Archaea domain that require high salt concentrations to live, thus inhabiting ecosystems like salty ponds, salty marshes, or extremely salty lagoons. They are more abundant and widely distributed worldwide than initially expected.

Genetic and biochemical identification of a novel single-stranded DNA-binding complex in Haloferax volcanii [PDF]
Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)-binding proteins play an essential role in DNA replication and repair. They use oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding (OB)-folds, a five-stranded β-sheet coiled into a closed barrel, to bind to ssDNA thereby protecting and ...

Precise Capture of Membrane Proteins Using DNA‐Origami‐Constrained Nanodiscs
A designed DNA origami structure ensures manipulates and inserts an individual membrane protein in a single, captured nanodisc. Membrane proteins play a key role as cellular gatekeepers, regulating the flow of information and material across lipid membranes.

Genomic and Ecological Flexibility Shape the Global Distribution of a Black Fungus
Graphical abstract illustrating the integration of ecological and genomic data to explain the global adaptation of the black fungus Elasticomyces elasticus. ABSTRACT Black fungi are among the most stress‐resistant organisms known, yet the genetic and ecological foundations of their extraordinary resilience remain poorly understood.
