Nanobodies are single-domain fragments obtained from camelid antibodies, which have high affinity towards their target protein. Two recent publications describe the development and use of nanobodies directed against the neuronal Arc protein to promote both structure determination, imaging and detection, and functional studies.

Isa's work on Plasmodium falciparum myosin B is out on the preprint server bioRxiv - just in time for her PhD defense. Hopefully soon in peer-reviewed form too.
