Oxidative stress plays an essential role in the development of Parkinson's disease (PD). 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxodG, oxidized guanine) is the most abundant oxidative stress-mediated DNA lesion. However, its contributing role in underlying PD pathogenesis remains unknown.

Fungal plasma membrane proteins have long been recognized as targets for the development of antifungal agents. Despite recent progress in experimental approaches and computational structural predictions, our knowledge of the structural dynamics and spatial distribution of these membrane proteins in the context of their native lipid environment remains limited. By applying cryo-electron tomography (cryoET) and subtomogram analysis, we aim to characterize the structural characteristics and spatial distribution of membrane proteins present in plasma membranes.
