Journal ArticleDOI

Emerging roles for lipids in shaping membrane-protein function

TL;DR: Measurements of channel gating in model systems of membrane proteins with their lipid partners are confirming predictions of simple models, and the free-energy cost of such perturbations can be estimated quantitatively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermoelectric Efficiency and Compatibility

TL;DR: Control of the compatibility factor s is, in addition to z, essential for efficient operation of a thermoelectric device, and thus will facilitate rational materials selection, device design, and the engineering of functionally graded materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rod-like bacterial shape is maintained by feedback between cell curvature and cytoskeletal localization

TL;DR: This work uses time-lapse and 3D imaging coupled with computational analysis to map the growth, geometry, and cytoskeletal organization of single bacterial cells at subcellular resolution, demonstrating that feedback between cell geometry and MreB localization maintains rod-like cell shape by targeting cell wall growth to regions of negative cell wall curvature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morphology and interaction between lipid domains

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that lipid domains can adopt a flat or dimpled morphology, where the latter facilitates a repulsive interaction that slows coalescence and helps regulate domain size and tends to laterally organize domains in the membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid, precise quantification of bacterial cellular dimensions across a genomic-scale knockout library

TL;DR: Two software packages, Morphometrics and BlurLab, that together enable automated, computationally efficient, unbiased identification of cells and morphological features are introduced and suggest potential functions for unknown genes and differences in modes of action of antibiotics are suggested.
