Melting Bacteria to Break Down Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotic Resistance is the reason due to which bacteria are spreading worldwide without any control which lead to a strong need for creating new technologies which can help to study bacteria. A new research done by EMBL researchers studied the melting protein behavior in the bacteria using existing techniques which is thermal proteome profiling. Thermal protein profiling (TPP) is used to compare…

Virus Gene Helping Bacteria to Survive in Absence of Essential Gene
A new research led by the team of researchers from Uppsala University, Sweden have found that the bacteriophage which is a virus and infects bacteria also helps bacteria to develop new function by revealing the undiscovered potential of their bacterial host. This new discovery also has solved the mystery of evolutionary biology i.e. how new function arises which means how…

Scientists Create First Semi-Synthetic Organism
The scientist at Scripps Research Institute has been designing bacteria having unnatural bases i.e. other than common bases of DNA G, C, A & T. These new unnatural bases are named as X and Y. The beginning of life on earth is started by just letters in its genetic code (just four letters). On this earth, every organism’s proteins are…
