Breaking the Speed Limit on Cell Division

Codon

In 2011, biophysicists at Stony Brook University estimated how the rates of protein folding impact E. The researchers chose to discard genes that encode virus-sensing machinery because the cells would be grown in a sterile laboratory environment. coli growth. The resulting strain of V. But it can improve. Imagine a future where E.
