Researchers at Durham have helped unlock a new understanding of how bacteria import antimicrobial peptides—the molecules that can kill or inhibit microbes. The research sheds new light on SbmA, a key transporter protein found in the membranes of bacteria such as E. coli. Their discovery could inform the development of future antibacterial therapies.
