Behind the scenes of bacterial cell division: Navigating the complexities of FtsZ and ZapA interaction

Caption

FtsZ and ZapA protein complex plays an important role in bacterial cell division. However, the structure of this complex was elusive. In this study, the researchers focused on the interaction of the two proteins and the structure of the protein complex.
