Now that the mechanism has been identified, the researchers are using chemical and mechanical manipulations to disrupt the process, so that antibiotics can work unimpeded. The research, under ...

Molecular shuttling involves passage through a high-energy transition state, forming an energy barrier between stable states. The properties of the transition paths through these states contain ...
