The electron carrier menaquinone is one of many important bacterial metabolites that are derived from the key intermediate chorismic acid. MenF, the first enzyme in the menaquinone pathway, catalyzes the isomerization of chorismate to isochorismate. Here, an improved structure of

Bacterial identification methods used in routine identification of pathogens in medical microbiology include a combination approach of biochemical tests, mass spectrometry or molecular biology techniques. Extensive publicly-available databases of DNA sequence data from pathogenic bacteria have been amassed in recent
This study demonstrates the use of reduced-representation genotyping to provide preliminary identifications for thermophilic bacterial isolates. The approach combines restriction enzyme digestion and PCR with next-generation sequencing to provide thousands of short-read sequences from across the bacterial genomes. Isolates were
RNA enzymes have been developed that undergo self-sustained replication at a constant temperature in the absence of proteins. These RNA molecules amplify exponentially through a cross-replicative process, whereby two enzymes catalyze each other's synthesis by joining component oligonucleotides. Other RNA
