Research groups can use the European X-ray laser to decode atomic details of viruses and cells, film chemical reactions and investigate processes such as those inside planets....

European Molecular Biology Laboratory

A model of the glycine transporter 1, which is located in the cell membrane. In the lower center it is bound by its inhibitor, which is a much smaller molecule. At the upper end, glycine transporter 1 is bound by a synthetic mini-antibody, a so-called sybody.
During measurements at the EMBL Hamburg Beamline P14, the scientists were able to determine the structure of glycine transporter 1. This is a protein that is involved in the regulation of neuronal activity in the brain. The result could open up new avenues for the development of therapeutics for psychiatric disorders.

The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is an intergovernmental institution that operates the measuring stations at the PETRA III storage ring of DESY for applications in the life sciences with a focus on structural biology and X-ray imaging. The facilities are offered to external users and used for in-house research on infectious diseases. EMBL works closely with DESY and other...
