Last chance to apply to the Cold Spring Harbor #cryoem course this March (application deadline is Jan 15th)! Learn all about sample prep, microscope operation, and image processing at this fun 2-week course @kollmanlab@Jen_Cash_11@cshlcourses https://t.co/iZ2eOD2vVs
Congrats to our grad students who pitched therapeutic targets at this year's @ScrippsGradPrgm Drug Discovery Shark Tank - particularly Shelby @ShelbyFerrier and Morgan @m_m_gee on their winning proposal to target Cholera toxin subunit B, which raised $4 million!
Proud of new work https://t.co/VVD4eyFOlc from the lab by Zhicheng (Chen) Cui @Chen3dem using single-particle cryo-EM on liposomes to show how mTORC1 integrates nutrient and growth factor signaling at lysosomes, collab. w/ @G__Napolitano, A. Esposito, and A. Ballabio.
The human mitochondrial ClpXP is uniquely assembled and regulated compared to its bacterial counterparts. Congrats to Kelly Chen on her years of hard work on this challenging complex! https://t.co/77epZBAIpV
Ready for the final day of the BPS meeting on 'Emerging Theoretical Approaches to Complement Single-Particle Cryo-EM' in Trieste! 🔬 We had outstanding speakers, great science, and friendly atmosphere. Thanks to @BiophysicalSoc@cecamEvents, @palermo_lab@RommieAmaro@LanderLab!
Some thoughts on the current state of single particle cryo-EM map/model validation. (TLDR: preferred orientation remains a big problem, ❤️ Q-scores. There's been progress, but there's still more to do. ) https://t.co/E3jcBOyeKA
The registration deadline of the meeting "Emerging theoretical approaches to complement single-particle cryo-electron microscopy" is today!
Join us in Trieste, Italy, with an outstanding list of speakers. https://t.co/Z52t2rT8oF
Pls RT & Apply !
@RubinsteinJohn @GonenShane@jzhaosbp Grid factory set up in La Jolla thanks to @RubinsteinJohn & @jzhaosbp! Efforts spearheaded by @lalexandrescu1, carbon or gold with a bunch of different hole sizes and spacing. Come by any time @GonenShane !
We always thought nucleotide state strictly defined AAA+ conformation, but Jeff Mindrebo's work on mito LONP1 suggests more is at play - substrate interactions also drive protein translocation! Revisiting & rethinking the hand-over-hand mechanism: https://t.co/sUtO4VVbI1
@CrollTristan Finally getting around to using this, very pleased with the implementation. Thanks Tristan! Is it possible to color the residues according to Q-score like in the OG Chimera plugin?
Hey all new(ish) structural biology PIs out there - I started a slack workspace geared toward us! If you’d like to join, DM me your email and method(s) of choice, and I’ll add you to the group.
