(Phys.org)—A small team of researchers has used the brilliant X-rays of the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory to pin down the crystalline structure of an enzyme complex that scientists had spent nearly a decade trying to resolve. Their discovery could lead to anti-microbial agents for a host of deadly bacteria, including anthrax, tuberculosis, leprosy and diphtheria.
