Dissecting self-organizing protein systems step by step may help scientists design the process of biological pattern formation from minimal ingredients
The researchers specifically focused on a rotational motor dubbed V1 that functions as part of a pump that moves sodium ions across the membrane as a part of healthy cellular processes
A research team created a glassy carbon electrode as an alternative to the metal version, and new findings show it does not react to MRI scans, making it safer
Previous biofoundry efforts have produced a wide variety of products such as chemicals, fuels, and engineered cells and proteins, but those studies were not performed in a fully automated manner
