Wayne State chemist reveals how nature senses carbon monoxide
Original: From silent killer to cellular fuel: Wayne State chemist unlocks nature’s carbon monoxide sensors
A Wayne State University chemist has published research explaining how organisms naturally detect carbon monoxide, a gas better known as a deadly poison but also used as an energy source by some microbes. The work sheds light on the molecular sensors that let cells respond to carbon monoxide, with potential implications for biology and future applications.
Why now: The finding reframes carbon monoxide from purely toxic gas to a biologically useful molecule, drawing scientific interest.
