Abstract
In this issue of Structure, Raghavan etal. present the cryo-EM structures of the malaria-associated group A PfEMP1 HB3VAR03 head in both host receptor-free and receptor-bound states. The structures are complemented by biophysical analysis and introduce an innovative model in which host-receptor binding induces conformational changes in a PfEMP1 protein.
