ITHACA, N.Y. - Cornell researchers have uncovered the structure of a regulatory mechanism unique to bacteria, opening the door for designing new antibiotics targeted to pathogens. As the threat of ...

Using cryo-electron microscopy, researchers have investigated the structure of Bas63, a bacteriophage of the subfamily ...

For the first time researchers have deciphered the near-atomic structure of filaments, called 'pili', that extend from the surface of bacteria that cause traveler's diarrhea. Without pili, these ...

The moment of death for the bacteria. A scanning electron microscopy image of the MOF structure puncturing the bacteria. The ...

As pathogenic bacteria continue to evolve and find ways to evade common medications, researchers have been racing to develop new antibiotics to avoid a crisis. Reporting in Nature, scientists have now ...

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

The arginine repressor (ArgR) is a hexameric DNA-binding protein that plays a multifunctional role in the bacterial cell. Here, we present the 2.5 Å structure of apo-ArgR from Bacillus ...

Researchers from the University of Maryland School of Medicine and their colleagues have identified the structure of the most lethal toxin produced by certain strains of Clostridium difficile bacteria ...

For decades, pharmaceutical companies have been using bacteria found in soil and water to chemically convert steroids into ...
