New computational pipeline predicts proteins in uropathogenic E. coli
Original: Computational pipeline predicts protein structures and functions in uropathogenic E. coli
A newly described computational pipeline predicts the structures and functions of proteins in uropathogenic E. coli, the bacterium responsible for most urinary tract infections. By mapping which proteins the pathogen likely produces, researchers hope to identify targets for new diagnostics, drugs or vaccines. Science outlets are reporting the tool as a step toward faster, cheaper analysis of bacterial proteomes.
Why now: Urinary tract infections are increasingly hard to treat, so tools that reveal drug or vaccine targets in their main bacterial cause draw attention.
