A unifying mechanism for protein transport through the core bacterial Sec machinery
Encapsulation and compartmentalization are fundamental to the evolution of cellular life, but they also pose a challenge: how to partition the molecules that perform biological functions—the proteins—across impermeable barriers into sub-cellular organelles, and to the outside. The solution lies in t...
