Bacterial membranes contain safety valves called mechanosensitive ion channels, which protect the bacterium from changes in the osmotic pressure of their environment. However,...

In bacteria, mechanosensitive ion channels such as MscL protect cells against osmotic shock. Although crucial for protecting cells, as with all ion channels, they have the...

The proteins of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria are critical for bacterial survival,from providing basic physiological functions, to impairing virulence and...
