Iâm way late with this on March 9th but Iâve watched Paul Kangas for years! He has always epitomized the NBR to me and I will sorely miss him. He was always sharp and crisp and on point.
the bacterial cytoskeleton and cell shape-determining proteins such as MreC, function in concert to orches-trate the localization of cell wall synthetic complexes resulting in spatially co-ordinated and efficient pepti-doglycan synthetic activity. Introduction The distinct morphology of most bacterial cells is dictated by the architecture of the peptidoglycan cell wall. In Gram-negative bacteria, the cell wall is thought to be a single
DNase is an enzyme (a protein-like substance) that cuts the DNA present in the mucus. At first DNase was made from cows, but many patients had allergic reactions to it. Then a company separated the gene for human deoxyribonuclease, which chops up the protein but does not cause allergic reactions. DNase is delivered to the patient in aerosol form, and it improves lung function by breaking up the thick mucus in the lungs.
