AI Summary

Researchers captured molecular snapshots showing how Gram‑negative bacteria assemble proteins in their outer membrane, a structure that protects the cells and contributes to antibiotic resistance. The study visualizes the step‑by‑step process of protein insertion into the membrane, providing insight into the mechanisms behind the barrier’s formation. This detailed view could inform future strategies to target the outer membrane in drug‑resistant infections.
