Red light photosynthesis Jun 1, 2018

The structure of a photosynthetic protein complex that absorbs infrared light in aquatic bacteria has been determined for the first time, using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) at eBIC. The work outlined in the journal Nature, showed every component of the photosynthetic complex to an impressive 2.9 Å resolution.

How malaria parasites break out of red blood cells during the infection cycle Jun 1, 2018

Malaria is a highly infectious disease that is widespread in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. It is caused by a group of parasitic single-celled microorganisms, which are carried by mosquitoes. When malaria parasites enter a human via a mosquito bite, they rapidly multiply in red blood cells within a protective casing known as the parasitophorous vacuole.
