Structure of Pick’s tau distinct from AD tau

ALZ forum logo

In recent years, support has grown for the idea that the same aggregating protein can fold up into different toxic shapes, giving rise to distinct neurodegenerative diseases. Now, in the August 29 Nature, researchers led by Michel Goedert and Sjors Scheres at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England, in collaboration with Bernardino Ghetti and colleagues at Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis, provide the first molecular-level proof that this happens.

The legacy of Fred Sanger – 100 years on from 1918

JMB Logo

August 2018 marks the centenary of the birth of Frederick (Fred) Sanger (1918–2013), one of the most influential scientists of the 20th century. Few scientists transform a discipline in their lifetime. Fred Sanger did this, not once but twice. By devising methods for sequencing, he revolutionized our understanding of both proteins and nucleic acids gaining the Nobel Prize in Chemistry twice. He is the only scientist to have achieved this honour. More…

Drug designers embrace electron cryo-microscopy

Electron cryo-microscopy is enabling drug designers to understand how protein targets in the body interact with potential therapeutics. Technology developed at LMB, such as sensitive detectors and analytical software, as well as collaborations between LMB scientists and industry is helping make this possible. More…
