Fine-Tuning a Molecular Assembly Line To Design and Test Antibiotics

Researchers from North Carolina State University have found a way to fine-tune the molecular assembly line that creates antibiotics via engineered biosynthesis. The work could allow scientists to improve existing antibiotics as well as design new drug candidates quickly and efficiently. Bacteria - such as E. coli - harness biosynthesis to create molecules that are difficult to make artificially.
