Research: POLYMERASE Folding Project #16755

Project #16755 overview

Project Summary AI Beta

This project uses computer simulations to study how bacteria work at the molecular level. One part looks at how antibiotics target a specific part of bacterial RNA polymerase, which is essential for making proteins. Another part simulates how special helper proteins called chaperones assist in folding other proteins correctly.
