Both use flagella - the little tail bit on sperm - to drive the cells forward, but while highly viscous fluids would usually dissipate their energy, the flagella on sperm can continue to propel the ...

Univ Brest, Ifremer, Biologie et Ecologie des Ecosystèmes Marins Profonds (BEEP), Plouzané, France In my opinion, these discoveries challenge the “classical” models of DNA replication. Archaea are not ...

However, biological motors have existed for millions of years in microorganisms. Among these, many bacterial species have tail-like structures--called flagella--that spin around to propel themselves ...

This important study characterizes the mechanics and stability of bolalipids from archaeal membranes using molecular dynamics simulations. A mesoscale model of bolalipids is presented and evaluated ...

However, little is known about the dynamics of archaeal communities during mangrove restoration through phytoremediation. In this study, we investigated the physicochemical properties of sediment ...

Our extensive bioinformatics analyses support the hypothesis that the eukaryotic N-glycosylation pathway originates from an archaeal ancestor. As Alg14-13 and MurG use UDP-GlcNAc to GlcNAcylate a ...
