Keeping signals straight in phosphorelay signal transduction

Bacteria are highly adaptable organisms, and the key is their capacity to express only those genes for enzymes and pathways that they need for maximal growth in the environment in which they find themselves. This is achieved by the bacteria's ability to recognize the composition of their enviro...

Description
Summary:	Bacteria are highly adaptable organisms, and the key is their capacity to express only those genes for enzymes and pathways that they need for maximal growth in the environment in which they find themselves. This is achieved by the bacteria's ability to recognize the composition of their environment by sensing signals emanating from it.
