Protein implicated in dry eye and PTSD visualized at atomic level

Researchers have captured an atomic-level high-definition image of a protein and the small molecule that binds to it. Both have been implicated in conditions including dry eye and post- traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Full understanding of their structures will hopefully lead to development of an effective drug to regulate the protein's function.
