NIH First to Develop 3D Structure of Twinkle Protein

This rotating image shows the 3D structure that NIEHS researchers created of the twinkle protein. The researchers used Cryo-EM and other techniques to show how disease mutations on the protein can lead to mitochondrial diseases. The video zooms to the protein interface where many of the disease mutations occur. (Graphics and video courtesy of A.A. Riccio, NIEHS) Resear...
