Unlocking the Mystery of Protein Mechanism in Bacteria After Years of Effort
In a major breakthrough for biology, scientists have finally uncovered the mechanism of action of a key protein in bacteria. After more than a decade of effort, researchers from the University of California, Berkeley have finally determined how this protein, known as YidC, enables bacteria to assemble essential components of cellular machinery. The study, published in the journal Cell, provides insight into the molecular foundations of bacterial cell biology and has potential implications for the development of antibiotics and other treatments.
