Our April issue is out now! https://journals.iucr.org/f/issues/2026/04/00/

Crystallization was investigated as a preparative strategy for a GLP-1/GIP lipopeptide and led to what is believed to be the first reported crystal structure of an unbound GLP-1/GIP analogue https://doi.org/10.1107/S2053230X26001937

The structure of endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase was determined at 1.8 Å resolution, revealing a unique spatial arrangement of domain IV, which is suggested to contribute to substrate recognition #EndoNAcetylglucosaminidases #GH85 #ComplexNGlycans https://doi.org/10.1107/S2053230X26001214
The structure of a chimeric efflux pump was determined by cryoEM under apo and kanamycin-supplemented conditions and adopted symmetric-like and asymmetric conformations #PseudomonasAeruginosa #DrugEffluxTransporters #MembraneProteins https://doi.org/10.1107/S2053230X26001202
MBP fusion is an effective and generalizable approach to enable crystallographic studies of engineered binding proteins that are otherwise difficult to crystallize #Monobody #Aggregation #MaltoseBindingProtein https://doi.org/10.1107/S2053230X26000798
