Structural details of an environment-sensing protein complex could guide development of new drugs

Many mysteries remain about TCS signaling mechanisms, partly because the proteins involved are complicated and contain floppy, mobile regions that make structural analysis arduous. Researchers in Japan recently achieved a breakthrough on this front, however, by assembling a high-resolution reconstruction of the ThkA/TrrA TCS complex from Thermotoga maritima.
