Delighted to get this out!we describe bitopic binding mode to the dopamine 3 receptor, including a reorganization of TM1 that generates a unique site that could be exploited to develop selective molecules. Tremendous effort from Sandra Arroyo Urea Angela nature.com/articles/s4146…

Man-made hinges date back to 1600 BC. ⭐️postdoc Benedikt Kuhn et al. now show that elevator-like #solutecarriers had them long before 🤩 to control conformational space + function! Great collab w Julian Langer lab and Seeger Lab. Out in Nature Communications doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Cryo-EM is a bit of an imaging miracle. We collect 2D images with stupid amounts of noise. We don’t know what we’re looking at, or from which way. Yet some how we can churn it over and get to see (actually see) how life works on molecular scales in 3D. How?

The γTuRC saga goes on! This time, we used cryoEM to describe how CDK5RAP2 helps nucleating microtubules by activating the γTuRC nucleator. Another tour de force led by Marina Serna and Fabian Zimmermann and a fun collab with Jens Luders @LudersLab.bsky.social IRB Barcelona. authors.elsevier.com/c/1jpyq_Yv6zvB…

First data from my PhD out now in preprint! Turns out that the orphan SLC45A4 is a polyamine transporter involved in pain signalling, that contains a novel autoinhibitory plug domain biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A reminder that our new lab at Molekylærbiologi - Molecular Biology has a fully funded postdoc position available. Our group integrates biochemistry, cryoEM, and single-molecule imaging to explore the mechanisms of DNA repair complexes. 🧬🔬 sites.google.com/view/alconlab/… Please share with your colleagues!
