Article Synopsis
- Braun's lipoprotein (Lpp) is crucial for maintaining the stability of the cell envelope by linking the outer membrane to the peptidoglycan layer.
- Researchers used atomic force microscopy to observe Lpp directly on peptidoglycan sacculi, finding it evenly spread across the surface but absent at the division site during cell division.
- The study provides a method for better understanding the distribution of Lpp and other proteins bound to the peptidoglycan layer through direct imaging techniques.
Can Masks Be Reused After Hot Water Decontamination During the COVID-19 Pandemic?
Engineering (Beijing)
October 2020
Masks have become one of the most indispensable pieces of personal protective equipment and are important strategic products during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Due to the huge mask demand-supply gap all over the world, the development of user-friendly technologies and methods is urgently needed to effectively extend the service time of masks. In this article, we report a very simple approach for the decontamination of masks for multiple reuse during the COVID-19 pandemic.
