  1. Ancient Archea, Novel Protein

    Researchers from *NAI’s Pennsylvania State University Team *published their functional and phylogenetic analysis of protein WrbA function this week in The Journal of Bacteriology. Comparing 30 sequences including that of Archaeoglobus fulgidus, a hyperthermophilic archeabacterium, this study demonstrates the ability for this enzyme to protect against oxidative stress through quinone oxidoreductase activity.
