Crystal structure analysis reveals Pseudomonas PilY1 as an essential calcium-dependent regulator of bacterial surface motility. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , 2009; DOI: 10.1073 ...

Featherlight nanomaterial built from graphene and calcium pulls clean water from the air with unmatched efficiency.

Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have discovered that a single atom -- a calcium, in fact -- can control how bacteria walk. The finding identifies a key step in the ...

Calcium ions are presented in rocks, bones, shells, biominerals, geological deposits, ocean sediments, and many other important materials. Calcium ions also play major roles in the retention of ...

The calcium-38 nuclei lost a substantial amount of energy in the encounter. The researchers traced the unusual excited levels formed in calcium-38 back to the simultaneous excitation of several ...

The calcium in your bones, like every other heavy atom in your body, was forged in the fiery furnace of enormous stars, 10, 100, even 1000 times the mass of the sun.

By smashing beams of nuclei together at high speeds, researchers have discovered that when a calcium atom has 34 neutrons in its nucleus, things stay pretty quiet—at least for a few milliseconds.

Heavy-atom derivative crystals were obtained with Pt, ... M., Nomura, H. & Ogawa, H. Crystal structure of the calcium pump of sarcoplasmic reticulum at 2.6 Å resolution. Nature 405, 647–655 (2000) ...

National 4; Atomic structure and properties relating to bonding Compounds. What is an atom? Well, everything is made of atoms! Atoms themselves are made of smaller particles.

The binding and release of a single atom (calcium, shown in light blue) to a bacterial protein is necessary for microbial walking and infection. Credit: Michael D.L. Johnson ...
