Adaptation of the periplasm to maintain spatial constraints essential for cell envelope processes and cell viability

Adaptation of the periplasm to maintain spatial constraints essential for cell envelope processes and cell viability

The cell envelope of Gram-negative bacteria consists of two membranes surrounding a periplasm and peptidoglycan layer. Molecular machines spanning the cell envelope depend on spatial constraints and load-bearing forces across the cell envelope and surface. The mechanisms dictating spatial constraint...
