The Na+-NQR enzyme is vital for energy production in pathogenic bacteria like the one that causes cholera, making it a highly ...

The design of the motor was inspired by previous investigations 5 on artificial molecular pumps that are driven by cycles of reduction and oxidation reactions, known as redox cycles. We used a similar ...

Molecular motors come in all shapes and sizes, but they generally run on either chemical fuels or light. Now, a team led by J. Fraser Stoddart at Northwestern University has invented a molecular motor ...

Besides their normal role, pump overexpression confers drug resistance. Knowing the structure is a step to disabling the pumps with inhibitors BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Tuberculosis is the world’s leading ...

The workshops of molecular machinists seem to be growing louder by the year. You can almost hear the imaginary whirring of their nanoscale devices, accompanied by an anvil chorus of tiny but ...
