Researchers from the Göttingen Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC) have uncovered the 3D structure of the membrane proteins myoferlin and dysferlin using high-resolution cryo-electron ...

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) reached single-atom resolution for 3D structure determination of biological macromolecules. Cryo-EM has been determining the structures of protein structures for ...

Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats ...

Most people carry the fungus Candida albicans on their bodies, without this causing many problems. However, a systemic infection with this fungus is dangerous and difficult to treat. Few ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* pre-print server, researchers illustrated the cryo-electron microscopic (cryo-EM) structure of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Two new studies reveal in unprecedented detail how the ribosome interacts with other molecules to assemble new proteins and guide them toward their destination in biological cells.

A new cryo-electron microscopy facility is nearing completion at UC Santa Cruz, giving researchers powerful tools for studying the structures and functions of complex molecules involved in human ...

Collaboration between researchers at the University of Geneva, Institut de biologie structurale de Grenoble, and the University of Fribourg has shown how lipids and proteins in cell membranes react in ...

Scientists have used single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of the ribosome of Candida albicans. Their results reveal a potential target for new drugs. Most people ...

The outcome is a three-dimensional image of the cell's plasma membrane arrangement, complete with perspectives of the barrier inside. By creating a very precise platinum-carbon duplicate of the ...

Bacteriophages or “phages” is the terms used for viruses that infect bacteria. The UAB researchers, led by Terje Dokland, Ph.D., in collaboration with Asma Hatoum-Aslan, Ph.D., at the University of ...
