Nanotechnology Now - Press Release: NYUAD study maps nanobody structure, leading to new ways to potentially fight diseases

Nanobodies have been shown to inhibit the dysfunction of key proteins involved with various diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriasis, B-cell lymphoma, and breast cancer. Understanding the structure of a nanobody helps to better understand its disease-fighting potential. Typically, the protein structure is determined from solid samples. Researchers at NYUAD used a liquid state technique to determine protein structure.
