A Serendipitous Discovery Could Hold the Key to Solving Antibiotic Resistance

A visual depiction of the KorB-KorA mechanism. The KorB protein (green) is trapped by its partner protein KorA (pink) on plasmid DNA (cyan). This prevents RNA polymerase (grey) from binding DNA and ultimately results in gene repression.
