Mechanisms of Bacterial Extracellular Electron Exchange. [PDF]
, 2016 The biochemical mechanisms by which microbes interact with extracellular soluble metal ions and insoluble redox-active minerals have been the focus of intense research over the last three decades. The process presents two challenges to the microorganism;

Evolving Biological Systems: Evolutionary Pressure to Inefficiency [PDF]
, 2014 The evolution of quantitative details (i.e. “parameter values”) of biological systems is highly under-researched. We use evolutionary algorithms to co-evolve parameters for a generic but biologically plausible topological differential equation model of ...

Bacterial porins stimulate bone resorption [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1997 Porins are abundant outer membrane proteins of gram-negative bacteria involved in transport of low-molecular-mass molecules. During the past decade, porins from a number of bacteria have also been shown to have proinflammatory activities including inducing the synthesis of proinflammatory mediators (cytokines, platelet-activating factor, and nitric ...

Structural and Immunological Characterization of Novel Recombinant MOMP-Based Chlamydial Antigens
Vaccines, 2017 Chlamydia is the most common cause of bacterial sexually transmitted infections worldwide. While infections resolve with antibiotic treatment, this is often neglected in women due to frequent asymptomatic infections, leading to disease progression and ...

Membrane proteins and proteomics: Love is possible, but so difficult [PDF]
, 2009 Despite decades of extensive research, the large-scale analysis of membrane proteins remains a difficult task. This is due to the fact that membrane proteins require a carefully balanced hydrophilic and lipophilic environment, which optimum varies with ...

A mitochondrial porin cDNA predicts the existence of multiple human porins
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1993 Pores formed in the outer membrane of mitochondria by mitochondrial porin make it permeable to water-soluble metabolites smaller than approximately 5 kDa. We have isolated a full-length cDNA encoding a human porin. This probe detects a single approximately 1.5-kilobase mRNA species on Northern blots, but multiple hybridizing bands on genomic Southern ...

Dimeric porin from Paracoccus denitrificans [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1985 Paracoccus denitrificans was shown to contain a 33,000-dalton porin, which produced pores of large (1.6 to 1.8 nm) diameter. Cross-linking studies showed that the porin existed as dimers in the outer membrane.

Bacterial outer membrane vesicles and vaccine applications [PDF]
, 2014 Vaccines based on outer membrane vesicles (OMV) were developed more than 20 years ago against Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B. These nano-sized structures exhibit remarkable potential for immunomodulation of immune responses and delivery of “self ...
