Cryo-electron microscopic Views of the Protein Complex ClpX-ClpP

Caption

A research team from the Technical University of Munich and the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology has elucidated the structure of the proteolytic complex ClpX-ClpP. This is a key to development of innovative antibiotics which target the degradation process of defective proteins in bacteria.
