Plasmodium falciparum parasites cause severe human malaria and depend on iron for essential metabolic processes during all phases of their complicated lifecycle, including when growing in human red bl...

Eukaryotic cytochrome (cyt) c is a highly conserved mitochondrial protein central to cellular respiration, featuring a covalently attached hexacoordinate heme whose redox potential is tuned by axial H...

The first known metallic nanomotor in biology is powered by rocket fuel.

Malaria parasites infect red blood cells where they digest host hemoglobin and release free heme inside a lysosome-like organelle called the food v...

Malaria parasites infect red blood cells where they digest host hemoglobin and release free heme inside a lysosome-like organelle called the food vacuole. To detoxify excess heme, parasites form hemoz...

Predicted structure of the key complex from malaria parasites that attaches heme to mitochondrial cytochrome c to support the critical function of the electron transport chain. This structure was predicted using the AlphaFold 3 server and rendered using PyMOL. View the article.
