Slight oscillations lasting just milliseconds have a huge impact on an enzyme's function, according to a new study. Blocking these movements, without changing the enzyme's overall structure or any ...

A sub-cellular world has been opened up for scientists to study E. coli and other tissues in new ways, thanks to a microscopy method that stealthily provides 3-D, high-quality images of the ...

Moreover, the functions of modifications to ribosomal RNA and ribosomal proteins have also been unclear. Here we present the structure of the Escherichia coli 70S ribosome at 2.4-Å resolution.

Pilus biogenesis in Escherichia coli encompasses an intricate process by which these filamentous organelles are assembled and deployed to mediate adhesion, colonisation, and biofilm formation.

This image of a live Escherichia Coli bacterium reveals the structure of its outer membrane. In the inset image, the dotted lines signify regions of the membrane that lack proteins. UCL/Benn et al.

E coli was one of the first organisms to have its genetic code sequenced - deepening our understanding of how DNA works and ultimately increasing our knowledge of how humans function.

New research is shaking up how we think about evolution, suggesting there's a level of predictability influenced by genes and genetic history.

What is E coli? E coli, otherwise known as Escherichia coli, is a common type of bacteria that’s known for causing an irritable stomach and food poisoning.

The confirmed number of people sick with E. coli has now jumped to 37 in Oregon and Washington State. So, how does E. coli get into our food? Good Question.

Microplastics May Be Making E. Coli Infections Even More Dangerous, Scientists Say Microplastics have officially entered your food chain — and they might be transforming bacteria into superbugs.
