Scientists have solved the 3D structure of EspC, a powerful toxin produced by EPEC, a diarrheal E. coli strain that kills ...

The genes lacZ, lacY and lacA are transcribed from a single promoter (P) that produces a single mRNA from which the three proteins are translated. The operon is regulated by Lac repressor, the ...

Scientists at La Trobe University have discovered how a diarrhoea-causing strain of bacteria uses “molecular scissors” to cut ...
