This study uses single-cell electrophysiology to show verapamil disrupts bacterial membrane energetics by selectively dissipating the electrical component of the proton motive force, distinct from classical protonophores.

The paper inserts fluorescent proteins near the plug domain of MotB to study proton flow regulation without affecting motility, but finds limited fluorescence and the need for further optimization.

This paper introduces DL-ID, a deep learning framework for animal individual identification from images, achieving 87% accuracy with small datasets and outperforming existing methods in ecological research.

The paper determines the in situ structure of a high-torque bacterial flagellar motor using cryogenic electron microscopy, revealing protein adaptations and universal principles of torque generation.

The paper uses high-speed polarization microscopy to study dynamic heterogeneity in bacterial flagellar motors, revealing complex non-classical diffusion and potential energy landscape changes.

This paper computationally designs self-assembling protein rotary machines that sample internal rotational degrees of freedom based on energy landscapes.
