Researchers at Durham have helped unlock new understanding of how bacteria import antimicrobial peptides - the molecules that can kill or inhibit microbes.
Their discovery could inform the development of future antibacterial therapies.
Scientists from our Centre for Programmable Biological Matter (CPBM) contributed to the international study. The research sheds new light on SbmA, a key transporter protein found in the membranes of bacteria such as E. coli.
