Wayne State chemist reveals how nature senses carbon monoxide
Original: From silent killer to cellular fuel: Wayne State chemist unlocks nature’s carbon monoxide sensors | Newswise
A Wayne State University chemist has published research explaining how organisms detect carbon monoxide, a gas better known as a deadly poison but also used by cells as a signalling and energy-related molecule. The work, reported via Newswise, looks at the natural molecular sensors that respond to carbon monoxide, shedding light on how biology turns a toxic gas into a useful cellular fuel. Further details of the findings and their implications are limited.
Why now: The finding reframes carbon monoxide from purely a poison to a molecule biology actively senses and uses, which is notable for biochemistry and medicine.
