In this study, we applied single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to native samples isolated from the human parasite Toxoplasma gondii, determining multiple structures of key components of the conoid, a cone-shaped organelle essential for host-cell invasion. We assigned 40 distinct proteins to the cryo-EM densities and uncovered their spatial organization and interactions.
