4/ With @MessensLab and @juliamalopueyo, we used negative stain EM to visualise heterooligomers and show that heterooligomerisation strongly affects dimer-decamer equilbrium.

1/ We are excited to share our latest work, showing that heterooligomerisation drives structural plasticity of Prx1-type peroxiredoxins. https://t.co/oTLgMThWgb This was another fantastic collaboration with; the Deponte Lab and @MessensLab.
