New University of Arizona-led research has revealed the structure and function of one of bacteria's latest strategies in the fight against viruses: a fleet of highly organized enzymes that provide a rapid immune response capable of quickly shredding the harmful DNA of viral invaders.
Ucwaningo olusha oluholwa iNyuvesi yase-Arizona luveze isakhiwo nokusebenza kohlelosu lwamagciwane lwakamuva ekulweni namagciwane: iqoqo lama-enzyme ahlelekile amakhulu oluhlinzeke ngendlela yokungenelela kumasosha omzimba ngokushesha akwazi ukushesha agandanye i-DNA elimazayo yokugxambukela kumagciwane.
