The synthesis of bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan was reconstituted in lipid bilayers and detected by a novel Förster resonance energy transfer real-time assay.
Diffusivity, extracellular interactions of Nodal ligands with the receptors and inhibitors, and selective ligand destruction collectively shape the Nodal morphogen gradient.
The mechanical stability of a nucleosome is enhanced upon the introduction of a single base pair mismatch that makes DNA more bendable, with implications on mismatch repair in vivo.
