Chemists found a way to identify a complex sugar molecule in the cell walls of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the world's deadliest pathogen. This labeling could lead to simpler, faster TB tests.

The sucrose molecule has many oxygen-hydrogen (O–H) bonds which are polar. The charge-density model shows the positive areas near the hydrogen atom as blue and the negative area near the oxygen atom ...
