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…



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…





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!

🔴Igor Tascon and Iban Ubarretxena Iban Ubarretxena are co-corresponding authors of a paper pubished in Science Advances "Structural basis for regulation of a CBASS-CRISPR-Cas defense island by a transmembrane anti-σ factor and its ECF σ partner" Congrats!









📢 Javier Garcia Nafria receives €2 million from the ERC program to find new mechanisms to control #inflammation . #ReSolVer will study the end phase of #inflammation , and will provide strategies for the development of new anti-inflammatory drugs. Congrats! UCC unizar #ReSolVer



Thrilled to see our work on high-resolution #cryoem using a common LaB6 120-keV TEM and sub–200-keV direct electron detector, now online Science Advances. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… . A collaboration with Gatan Microscopy, @GeorgRamm, and Ramaciotti Centre for Cryo EM.
