When a cell divides, each daughter cell must receive a complete set of genetic information. In 2019, scientists led by Max Planck Fellow Prof. Dr. Martin Thanbichler discovered a CTP-dependent molecular switch that controls this process. Now the authors were able to elucidate in an international team how the hydrolysis of CTP determines the dynamics of bacterial DNA segregation. Their findings could lead to the development of specific enzyme inhibitors with potential antimicrobial activity.
