In a new study, Weizmann Institute of Science researchers reveal a bacterial immune system that thwarts the phages’ plot by attaching a small protein molecule to their tails. The components of this ...

Plants, fungi and bacteria produce a variety of bioactives ... because of the time-consuming elucidation of their mode of action. Scientists from the Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry ...

"We also hope that our findings of a new mechanism of action against these bacterial strains may help in the design of future ...

It allows bacteria to store and share resistance genes with their offspring and neighboring cells. It operates via a molecular "cut and paste" mechanism driven by special proteins, known as ...

a necessary process for bacterial survival. Using high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy the researchers reveal unprecedented detail of gyrase’s action on DNA, potentially opening doors for ...

and has proved invulnerable to any attempt by bacteria to mutate and overcome its mechanism of action. The promising new drug is currently in the final preclinical stages with preparations ...
