First Cryo-EM structures of homomeric GluA1 AMPA glutamate receptor reveals functional roles for N-terminal domains
Electron cryo-microscopy structures of GluA1 AMPA receptors from Ingo Greger’s group in the LMB’s Neurobiology Division reveals that previously unseen structural flexibility of N-terminal domains is crucial for regulating the open-close speed of ion channel gates and recruiting the receptor into synapses.
Radu Aricescu awarded the Karolinska Institutet 2023 Ulf von Euler Lectureship
Radu Aricescu, Group Leader in the LMB’s Neurobiology Division, will deliver the Ulf von Euler Lecture entitled “The wide wild world of human GABAa receptors” at the Karolinska Institutet on 6th October 2023.
Activation of the integrated stress response by inhibitors of its kinases
New research from Anne Bertolotti’s group in the LMB’s Neurobiology Division reveals that nanomolar ATP-competitive inhibitors of integrated stress response (ISR) kinases unexpectedly activate the ISR at micromolar concentrations by directly binding to and activating a sister ISR kinase.
The LMB welcomes Juliette Fedry as a new Group Leader
Juliette Fedry’s research group in the LMB’s Cell Biology Division will aim to reveal how proteostasis is organized normal health and how it goes awry during diseases.
Andrew McLachlan. 25 January 1935 – 8 July 2022
LMB 1967-2006, Group Leader, MRC Retired Worker, Structural Studies After switching scientific disciplines from theoretical chemistry to molecular biology, Andrew McLachlan arrived at the LMB in 1967, where he remained a key member of the Structural Studies Division until 2006. Notably, he developed methods for aligning the sequences of different proteins, and, in collaboration with […]
