Imagine drawing on something as delicate as a living cell -- without damaging it. Researchers have made this groundbreaking discovery using an unexpected combination of tools: frozen ethanol ...

To test their new ethanol-ice-based method, researchers used Halobacterium salinarum, a tiny microorganism that makes a purple protein capable of capturing sunlight and turning it into energy ...

Current methods for reconstructing biological networks often learn either the topology of large networks or the kinetic parameters of smaller networks with a well-characterized topology. We have ...

Purple Earth Hypothesis suggests Earth was once a purple planet. Early microbes used retinal, not chlorophyll, for photosynthesis.

Gas vesicles (GVs), gas-filled protein-encapsulated nanostructures, synthesized by microorganisms such as Halobacterium salinarum NRC-1 (HALO) and Anabaena flos aquae (ANA) have been reported as ...

Halobacterium and microscopic algae are the source of the pink hues of Bay Area salt ponds drawing Barbie tourism ...

Nevertheless, two SMC-related proteins, namely coalescin and Sph, have been identified in crenarchaea Sulfolobus spp. and the euryarchaeon Halobacterium salinarum, respectively, hinting that the ...

Both proteins are encoded by the gvpACNO transcription unit in the haloarchaeon Halobacterium (Hbt.) salinarum. Eight additional Gvp proteins are involved in gas vesicle formation, encoded by the ...

Three scientists who have been integral to the discovery and development of using light-sensitive proteins to determine the function of neurons have won the 2021 Lasker Award for basic research.

Dieter Oesterhelt from the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry, Peter Hegemann from Humboldt University and the U.S. American Karl Deisseroth from Stanford University will receive the Albert Lasker ...
