title: How bacteria choose phosphate.
abstract: Discriminating against arsenate: Determination of the structure of periplasmic phosphate binding proteins at very high resolution provides the basis for understanding the high discrimination of bacteria against arsenate. The results complete our insight into earlier erroneous conclusions on the ability of certain bacteria to use arsenate instead of phosphate.
