Parasites need mitochondrial respiration to cause disease. Indeed, common anti-malaria drugs target respiratory enzymes (e.g. atovaquone). But how do the parasite enzymes work and how do drugs inhibit them? Read Andrew Maclean and Alex Mühleip phenomenal work to find out! 👇

Read Andrew Maclean and Alex Mühleip phenomenal work on the Toxoplasma mitochondrial complexes III and IV here: nature.com/articles/s4159… Key highlights in the thread below

Andrew Maclean Respiratory complexes form “super-complexes” whose physiological function is debated, and assembly only studied in a few organisms. We showed that apicomplexan conserved proteins mediate III2-IV supercomplex formation, and that this provides competitive growth advantage.

Congratulations Professor Gwo Tzer. An absolutely stellar inaugural lecture Glasgow Edinburgh IBD Science

It was lovely to share this special day with so many people. Thank you everyone for coming. Many wonderful people who helped me to where I am today. UofG Sii This one is for my late parents who would have dearly loved to be here today.

It was a pleasure to welcome back Hyndland Primary to our #microbiology / #parasitology workshops last week. Here are P7 at the #viruses & #bacteria station learning about microbial diversity & the effects of antibiotics.
