The protein synthesis mechanism in the Giardia parasite

Cryo-electron microscopy was employed by Uppsala University researchers to reveal information on the protein synthesis mechanism in the parasite Giardia intestinalis, which causes diarrhea. The new findings could help in the development of specific medicines to combat Giardia and other protozoan parasites.
