Ribosome formation is viewed as a promising potential target for new antibacterial agents. Researchers from Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin have gained new insights into this multifaceted process.
The formation of ribosomal components involves multiple helper proteins which, much like instruments in an orchestra, interact in a coordinated way. One of these helper proteins – protein ObgE – acts as the conductor, guiding the entire process. The research, which produced the first-ever image-based…
