The dicyanomethylenedihydrofuran (DCDHF) class of single-molecule fluorophores contains an amine donor and a dicyanomethylenedihydrofuran acceptor linked by a conjugated unit (benzene, naphthalene, or ...

A typical A Level membrane permeability experiment involves investigating the influence of a named variable on the membrane permeability of a vegetable such as beetroot (Beta vulgaris). Common ...

Hydrophobic or amphiphilic tetrapyrrole sensitizers are taken up by cells and are usually located in cellular lipid membranes. Singlet oxygen is photogenerated by the sensitizer, and it diffuses in ...

Introduction Plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs) are aquaporins facilitating the diffusion of water and other small solutes across the plasma membrane. They are involved in a diversity of plant ...

Scientists at the University of Helsinki discovered how plants heal their protective outer layer, the periderm. The diffusion ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have solved a 60-year-old mystery in bacterial cell envelope ...

In a twist, researchers at the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health uncovered a new organelle, dubbed ...

University of Virginia scientists discover new cell organelle called "hemifusome" that helps manage cellular recycling.
