A collaboration of two spanish groups from CSIC had solved the 3D structure of LytC. The structure explains the peculiar role that this protein plays during a process known as pneumococcal fratricide. The structure has been published in the last issue of Nature Structural Molecular Biology.

    Thanks for sharing the great video Manuel. FYI - you can embed most videos on the site just by entering their source URL as the link you want to share - this works for YouTube, Scivee, Vimeo, Metacafe, Daily Motion, BigThink and a few more. Or, you can customize video by using code such this {youtube}VIDEOID{/youtube}. This code also works for 30 other video sites as well. I will add all the popular codes and more details to the FAQ this week for reference.
