Xiaorui Chen, a postdoctoral researcher at Baylor College of Medicine, holds a structural picture of leiomodin 2, a protein, attached to two actin subunits. Discovery of the structure by scientists at Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University may help researchers learn more about a hereditary neuromuscular disease known as nemaline myopathy.
