'''Barstar''' (BST) is an inhibitor synthesized and secreted by the bacterium ''Bacillus amyloliquefaciens''. It binds to the ribonuclease barnase (BA) very tightly and prevents it from digestion of the cell’s RNA. | '''Barstar''' (BST) is an inhibitor synthesized and secreted by the bacterium ''Bacillus amyloliquefaciens''.
