Viruses are usually associated with causing infections, but some can actually help fight them. Scientists are now working to turn these bacteria-killing viruses into treatments for dangerous infections that no longer respond to conventional antibiotics. An international team of experts…
Anthropic's research unveils the first 3D structure of vault particles in prokaryotes, advancing understanding of these enigmatic protein assemblies. The vault particles were produced in laboratory E. coli systems, providing researchers with a simpler and faster model for studying their assembly and…
Caray A Walker & Melody Clark Think of Antarctica, and penguins, seals and whales come to mind. Yet most of its scientific wonders cannot be seen without a microscope: microbial communities that form the foundation of Antarctic ecosystems. Recent research published…

Anthropic researchers used Claude to map the first 3D structure of a bacterial vault particle derived from a bacteriophage protein. The newly identified structure contains 96 protein copies and weighs approximately 9.5 megadaltons. Researchers engineered a larger version, increasing its enclosed volume by…
[Concordia University] A newly identified Arctic Ocean bacterium may have an unusual way of making the building blocks it needs to grow. Using acetone, a common chemical in seawater, the bacteria incorporate carbon dioxide (CO2) into their metabolisms, allowing them to…
