Cryo-electron microscopy

An international collaboration has developed a new drug candidate that stops the malaria parasite from breaking down waste, resulting in fatal ‘molecular constipation’ and hope for new treatments

Why Cryo-EM, or speed-freezing molecules to create 3D images that can diagnose human cell behaviour, is taking the structural biology world by storm

Scientists have used atomic level imaging to reveal for the first time exactly how an important malaria strain invades the blood, providing a design guide for a vaccine or drug
