This study identifies and characterizes FoeAB, a type IV ABC transporter in Streptococcus pneumoniae that exports fosfomycin, using functional assays and cryo-EM structures.

This paper designs a de novo ATPase with a P-loop motif, showing high thermal stability and ATPase activity, but not matching natural enzymes' efficiency.

The paper investigates how single amino acid substitutions in MPZ's extracellular domain cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease by analyzing membrane-stacking activity using a novel nanomyelin system.
