Professor Shoujun Xu (pictured) is collaborating with Professor Yuhong Wang to study how microscopic molecular "machines" inside cells use energy and change shape to build proteins.

Two University of Houston chemists are guiding the future discovery of treatments against antibiotic-resistant bacteria by studying how microscopic molecular "machines" inside cells use energy and change shape to build proteins.

Backed by a four-year, $1.26 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, chemistry professors Yuhong Wang an...
