The cell organelles known as ‘peroxisomes’ dispose toxic substances and fats in the human body, among other things, and, in doing so, they prevent serious illnesses. The ‘Pex’ group of proteins (peroxisomes biogenesis factors) keep these ‘detox units’ functioning properly — and now researchers have shown, at the atomic level, how these highly complex processes proceed.
