Researchers Decode Bacterial Energy Production, Paving the Way for Future Antibiotics | Newswise

[ad_1] Many disease-causing bacteria — including pathogens that can cause cholera, meningitis, and certain types of pneumonia — contain an enzyme called Na⁺-NQR. The enzyme is essentially a pump that helps bacteria generate energy by moving sodium ions across their cell membranes while transferring electrons.   Crucially, the enzyme is present in many types of harmful […]
