Previously, the inability to visualise filamentous actin (F-actin) dynamics had restricted the characterisation of both F-actin and actin regulatory proteins, a limitation we recently overcame for <i>Toxoplasma</i> (Periz et al, 2017). Here, we have expressed and validated actin-binding chromobodies ...[more]
