Abstract: Contrary to eukaryotic cells, both bacteria and archaea (mostly) lack active cytoplasmic transport. The encounter rate between proteins in the cytoplasm thus depends (almost) exclusively on lateral diffusion. Previously, it was found that the cytoplasmic… read more here.

Abstract: Hydrogels have been widely applied to understand the fundamental functions and mechanism of a natural extracellular matrix (ECM). However, revealing the high permeability of ECM through synthetic hydrogels is still challenged by constructing analogue networks… read more here.

Abstract: We analyze the structure of the cytoplasm by performing single-molecule displacement mapping on a diverse set of native cytoplasmic proteins in exponentially growing Escherichia coli. We evaluate the method for application in small compartments and… read more here.
