Bacterial species study challenges assumption that structural similarity predicts protein behavior

A new study published in Biochemistry sheds light on how bacteria regulate their genes, challenging long-held assumptions about protein behavior. The research compares how two bacterial species—Escherichia coli and Mycobacterium tuberculosis—use a signaling molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to control important cellular functions. A new study published in Biochemistry sheds light on how bacteria regulate their genes, challenging long-held assumptions about protein behavior.
