New #preprint from the lab! We are excited to share a sneak peek into a very exciting and still developing story about #mosquito #vitellogenins. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

And so many metal ions! - some of which matching sites recently visible in another paper describing a different structure containing the same donation, but not discussed there. a hint for #physiological relevance?

Together with Anselmo Canciani we refined the model and completed the structural analysis. Beautiful crystal contacts, likely suggesting hotspots for #molecularinteractions.

Structure determination was straightforward using #experimentalphasing, as well as modeling of the 10 copies of the domain in the ASU, arranged antiparallel as "Ig domains on a skewer". What a beautiful crystal lattice!

Anomalous signal was strong, and the #XRF spectrum revealed #potassium tightly bound to the protein.

Martina Palamini produced the protein during her #PhD, and got the beautiful crystals, that diffracted nicely at @esrf.fr. The unit cell was huge, and MR was painful.
