Structural insight on the recognition of surface-bound opsonins by the integrin I domain of complement receptor 3.

abstract：:In the last 60,000 y humans have expanded across the globe and now occupy a wider range than any other terrestrial species. Our ability to successfully adapt to such a diverse range of habitats is often explained in terms of our cognitive ability. Humans have relatively bigger brains and more computing power than othe...
