  "summary": "Aldehydes are a class of normally unwanted toxic electrophilic compounds that mainly arise from oxidation of glucose, lipids or DNA. However, it has recently come to light that they can also be weaponized by professional phagocytes to kill engulfed bacteria. How microbes subvert these assaults remains largely enigmatic. Here we describe the function, atomic structure and mechanism of the first…",
