Bacterial gene regulation is a finely tuned process essential for cellular adaptation and survival. Central to this regulation are nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs), which not only compact the ...

Researchers showed that the way in which genes are turned on and off as bacteria grow provide clues to their regulation. Bacterial infections cause millions of deaths each year, with the global threat ...

AI designed new bacteriophages that killed E. coli in lab tests, promising advances but raising safety concerns.

How do bacteria—harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease—organize their activities? A new study, ...

Conserved structural domains and motifs identified in the putative bacterial DCSs. The protein sequence for each of the five proteins (ChjDCS, StrDCS, AcrDCS, SpDCS, and CseDCS) was searched against ...

Pathogens are becoming more and more resistant to antibiotics. With the goal of developing new therapeutic approaches to ...

More than a decade ago, scientists harnessed a bacterial molecular machine that identifies and cuts specific sections of DNA, ...

Terpenoids play vital roles in plant ecology-from repelling pests to attracting pollinators-and are produced by terpene synthases (TPSs) enzymes. These enzymes are unique for their fused domain ...

Aphids, grasshoppers and other bugs aren't the only pests that can quickly wipe out a crop. Many harmful bacteria have ...
