Our CydDC paper is finally out on Nature Chemical Biology! A systematic approach using cryoEM not only for solving structures but more importantly as a scalable analytical tool. Structures from 23 biochemically defined conditions revealed the substrate of this unique ABC transporter : heme!

And the greatest credit goes to the team leader Safarian Lab, who initiated this project actually in 2017! Now we finally made it😉😉🎉🎉

The role of CydDC, a potential target for new antibiotics, in the bacterial energy metabolism has remained nebulous for decades. Scientists from our Institute, Amsterdam Institute for Life and Environment, @UGent, University of Kent solved the riddle: CydDC is a heme transporter👉biophys.mpg.de/cyddc #biophysics #cryoEM
