leadXpro reports the first structure of the human Kv3.1 channel, solved at 2.6 Å by cryo-EM, in the apo state and in complex with a ligand from our collaborators at Lundbeck. The structure of this important CNS drug target reveals a novel binding-site for positive modulators.

Binding partners are essential tools for structure research. leadXpro has patented “Pro-Macrobodies” or PMbs, novel proteins that fuse target-specific nanobodies with a maltose-binding protein via a rigid linker. The rigid linker was optimized using molecular dynamics simulations

The remarkable gymnastics of β-barrel outer membrane proteins. The lateral opening of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) transporter LptD, as seen by cryoEM, hints at how LPS is released into the bacterial outer membrane. Find out more at: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

leadXpro is happy to report the structure of LptDE - solved by cryo-EM at high resolution - which provides structural basis for the discovery of novel antibiotics targeting lipopolysaccharide (LPS) transport on the bacteria outer membrane. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
