Revealing the secrets of human gamma-secretase by cryo-EM

Published on 3 July, 2014

The latest advances in cryo-electron microscopy have enabled Sjors Scheres’ group, from the LMB’s Structural Studies Division, together with collaborators from Beijing in China, to solve the structure of human gamma-secretase, a membrane protein complex that has an important role in Alzheimer’s disease. Gamma-secretase is made up of four different proteins which are all embedded […]

How to get your (dynein) motor running

Published on 1 July, 2014

A cross divisional collaboration at the LMB between the groups of Simon Bullock, in Cell Biology, and Andrew Carter, in Structural Studies, has provided new insight into the activation of the large molecular motor dynein, a critical component of the transport system that operates within cells. The cells within living organisms contain an elaborate transport […]
