The alpha-synuclein fibril structure reported here buries residues 50-57 at the interface between its two protofilaments, suggesting that familial Parkinson's disease associated mutations in these residues lead to a structure not compatible with the one presented here.
Keratins assemble into tubular filaments with a central density and exhibit structural heterogeneity, which is reflected in alterations of the helical arrangement.

Combining cerebral organoid technology with cryo-correlative microscopy reveals the organization of cytoskeleton, membrane compartments, and protein synthesis machinery contributing to the rapid expansion of developing human axons.
The cryo-EM structure of ETB-Gi complex, obtained using the Fusion-G system, provides insights into the distinct activation mechanism and G-protein promiscuity of ETB, aiding in the design of ETB agonists for therapeutic applications.
The first structure of the human epithelial sodium channel provides vital insight into the assembly, stoichiometry and molecular mechanism of the ion channel central to sodium homeostasis.
