Antibiotics are a double-edged sword—they should be as toxic as possible to pathogenic bacteria while being harmless to the ...

A study published in PNAS reveals how a bacterial pathogen coordinates N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) metabolism at the ...

Researchers have now uncovered the 3D structure of the RNA enzyme SAMURI. Their study provides insights into the development of ribozymes and the evolution of catalytically active RNA.

The chirality of a molecule can determine its structure ... mirror bacteria could be able to evade natural predators like phage viruses and microscopic protists, or even immune cells in our ...

Mechanisms of antibiotic resistance Bacteria employ a variety of strategies to modify a bacterial component or process so that antibiotics can no longer stop their growth or kill them. One means is to ...

Here an iron-sulfur protein named FeSII senses increasing amounts of oxygen in the cell and binds to the nitrogenase enzyme ...

United Kingdom The abundance and subcellular location of specific mRNA molecules can give rich information on bacterial cell biology and gene expression at the single-cell level. We have been using ...
