An important weapon that plays a role in the body's fight against infection has come into a clearer view. Researchers at Princeton University have discovered the 3D structure of an enzyme that cuts to ribbons the genetic material of viruses and helps defend against bacteria. The discovery of the structure of this enzyme, a first-responder in the body's "innate immune system," could enable new strategies for fighting infectious agents and possibly prostate cancer ...Saturday, 1 March 2014
3-D Structure of Enzyme That Protects the Body from Bacteria Discovered
An important weapon that plays a role in the body's fight against infection has come into a clearer view. Researchers at Princeton University have discovered the 3D structure of an enzyme that cuts to ribbons the genetic material of viruses and helps defend against bacteria. The discovery of the structure of this enzyme, a first-responder in the body's "innate immune system," could enable new strategies for fighting infectious agents and possibly prostate cancer ...
