How Penicillin Acts Like TNT for Bacteria | HHMI
2019年4月9日 · What he found involves an enzyme called TacL and a duo of molecules that control LytA’s location and, consequently, its activity. Flores-Kim explains that TacL helps make a chain-like molecule that resides in the cell membrane. A similar molecule dwells in the cell wall. These two molecules act as competing magnets for LytA, Rudner says.
Mapping the 3-D Geometry of SARS-CoV-2’s Genome - HHMI
2020年8月31日 · Measuring about 30,000 RNA letters, SARS-CoV-2’s genome is unusually long for an RNA virus. Even so, it is still quite stubby compared to the genomes of people, plants, and even bacteria. Contorting its RNA into three-dimensional shapes gives SARS-CoV-2 another set of tools with which to compensate for a limited number of genes.
