Paper of the month: January 2013
- Castaing et al.. from the lab of Kumaran Ramamurthi show how ATP hydrolysis drives the self-association of SpoIVA into nucleotide-free filaments which then serve as a platform for the assembly of the spore coat starting with SpoVM. Together with the december's paper of the month these works demonstrate how ATP hydrolysis may contribute to different process wihtin a potein such as global conformational changes and self-assembly.

- December 2010: SubtiCellPublisher allows the conversion of CellDesigner diagrams to navigatable presentations in the style of SubtiPathways
- December 2010: all genes are linked to regulons, and the pages of the regulons provide an overview on all genes that are members of this specific regulon.
- December 2010: all genes/proteins are linked to categories, and the pages of the categories provide an overview on all genes/proteins that are members of this specific category.
