| 1. | Lysins for other dangerous microbes could be added to the sensing devices.
|
| 2. | A lysin-based anthrax detector is closer at hand.
|
| 3. | Catalytic domains are highly conserved in phage lysins of the same class.
|
| 4. | But the scientists have a prototype of a lysin-based anthrax detector.
|
| 5. | Many steps remain before a usable therapy can be developed from the lysin.
|
| 6. | The lysin is applied to the emerging bacteria, making them spill out their contents.
|
| 7. | Scientists at Rockefeller University see the gamma phage lysin as a powerful weapon against anthrax.
|
| 8. | In order to reach the cell wall, phage lysins have to cross the cell membrane.
|
| 9. | Autolysins and some phage lysins are examples of N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidases.
|
| 10. | Attack strains of anthrax can be made resistant to antibiotics, but not to lysin, Fischetti said.
