...ion of 4E10 with gp41 influences the virus. X-ray crystallography was used to determine the structure of the complex formed by association of 4E10 with a peptide fragment that is identical to the section of gp41 that the antibody recognizes. The researchers identified the specific amino acids on gp41 that 4E10 inte...Researchers make gains in understanding antibiotic resistance

Finally, the researchers used x-ray crystallography to explore at high resolution the structural basis of a particular ribosomal mutation dubbed L22 tha...Supercomputers to focus brains on AIDS dilemma
...o. In 1999, related results from traditional x-ray crystallography studies of the structure of a complex between the HIV-1 integrase catalytic domain and an inhibitor pointed to the existence of only one site where inhibitors could bind. These studies indicated a single format for small inhibitors of integrase to bi......g and treating malaria--the researchers used x-ray crystallography to determine the atomic structure of a key portion of the EBA-175 protein called the RII domain. The results revealed that two molecules of RII come together in a manner resembling a handshake, and that the overall shape of such RII "dimers" resembl......bulin in its stable, straight form, using electron crystallography methods, in which two-dimensional arrays of tubulin "flat" polymers were studied using cryo-EM and electron diffraction. By "docking" this crystallographic model within the structures they have now obtained for the polymerization intermediates at mo...Cartesian Honeybee System for protein crystallization from Genomic Solutions
