Recombinant proteasome from the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis, successfully produced in insect cells

Caption

Recombinant proteasome from the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis, successfully produced in insect cells. The structure of the complex, consisting of 28 subunits, was analyzed using cryo-electron microscopy. Inhibitors bound to the proteasome's catalytic site block its function and thus serve as potential leads for new therapeutics.
