Enzyme to Arrest Bacteria Cell Growth Discovered

  • Scientists at the Centre for Cellular & Molecular Biology (CCMB) have discovered a new enzyme which helps in breaking cell walls of bacteria.
  • The researchers have discovered a new enzyme “Murein EndopeptidiaseK” which would cut the bacteria cell wall.

Significance of the Research

  • It is crucial to know how cells grow in bacteria to understand the anti-bacterial resistance to currently available antibiotics. This research offers a potential for a new drug delivery route to arrest the anti-bacterial resistance through existing antibiotic drugs.
  • Scientist have been working on how the cell governs the synthetic machinery to build the cell wall in the ....
