A new study from WashU Medicine researchers describes the structure of an important protein that unspools the DNA molecule so the DNA can be repaired. Interfering with the protein could prove useful in developing new therapeutics for tuberculosis or other diseases caused by organisms that rely on these proteins to repair their DNA.
