Microscopy

Section edited by Jean-Luc Pellequer

This section incorporates all aspects of the structural analysis of biological macromolecules using techniques in microscopy including but not limited to: studies incorporating substantial analysis by electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, tomography and/or chromatography as well as image processing tools.

  1. P-glycoprotein (ABCB1) is an ATP-binding cassette transporter that plays an important role in the clearance of drugs and xenobiotics and is associated with multi-drug resistance in cancer. Although several P-g...
