Researchers examine protein arrangement in cell membrane that triggers programmed cell death

How can molecular structures be analyzed when the resolution of the techniques available is not sufficient? Researchers from the fields of physics, chemistry and medicine at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have combined and further developed various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques in order to examine a protein arrangement in the cell membrane that is important for “programmed cell death.” How can molecular structures be analyzed when the resolution of the techniques available is not sufficient?
