Activation mechanism and structural assembly of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis ClpP1P2 protease and its associated ATPases
Weinhäupl et al. determine the cryo-EM structure of the ClpC1P1P2 complex from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, revealing an asymmetric architecture and selective activator binding. They show that molecular crowding promotes assembly and activation of Clp complexes, suggesting a mechanism for ClpP1P2 activation under physiological conditions.

Three books unpack our infatuation with prediction, and what we lose when we outsource this task to machines.
Supplement that binds to microplastics may remove them from our body
A supplement comprised of dead bacteria seems to remove microplastics, and prevent their absorption into cells, by attracting them to the bacteria’s rough surfaces
