Recently, the research team led by Prof. YAO Lishan from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has investigated the millisecond residue specific protein folding and unfolding dynamics in E. coli cells for two protein GB3 mutants using NMR. How proteins efficiently function in real biological environments with crowding and significant chemical and physical heterogeneity remains a fundamental question in biology. Typical cytoplasmic macromolecular concentrations are 300–450 g/L, whic...

Recently, Prof. FENG Yingang and his colleagues from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently revealed the structural and functional mechanism of the SigI/RsgI factors from C. thermocellum. The results have been published in Nucleic Acids Research. Transcription is the process of synthesizing messenger RNA by RNA polymerase based on the DNA sequence of a gene and is the initial step in gene expression. In bacteria, σ factor is a key component of RNA polymerase for promoter recognition and t...

Recently,the Advanced Energy Storage Materials and Technology Group from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) developed a novel nanocomposite for the modified separator of Li-S batteries. Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have been regarded as a promising substitute to the current lithium-ion batteries. They have high energy density, five times higher than that of the state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries. In addition, Li-S batterie...
