Study identifies enzyme structure clarifying archaeal cell wall composition

Researchers characterized a hydrolase enzyme from a methanogen archaeon and used it to reveal structural details of archaeal peptidoglycan-like cell wall material, known as pseudopeptidoglycan. The work, conducted across several European research institutions including the Institut Pasteur, was supported by multiple national and European science funding bodies.
