Exploring the Relationship Between Structure and Function in KmtR

INVESTIGATOR: Khadine Higgins, Salve Regina University THEME: Environmental Health Sciences ABSTRACT: The long term goal of this work is aimed at understanding why Mycobaterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) requires two Ni(II)- and Co(II)-responsive metalloregulators associated with the export of Ni(II) and Co(II) and how these two regulators differ. M. tuberculosis is the causative agent of tuberculosis, […]
