78% Informative

Michigan State University researchers identify the first high-resolution experimentally determined structure in proteins that helps them survive harsh conditions such as radiation, heat and even the vacuum of space.

Researchers identified the structure inside a protein known as SpoIVFB (pronounced "spo-four-eff-bee") This study offers insight into a mechanism of cellular regulation found in organisms ranging from bacteria to humans.
