Interested in #Archaea, #MembraneProteins or #cryoEM? A #postdocposition in Narodowe Centrum Nauki funded project at Uniwersytet Jagielloński awaits you! Join our structure-function research on respiratory supercomplexes of #thermoacidophiles. Details are here: tinyurl.com/sulfolobus3 Please RT
I am very happy to share our latest work on the detailed cryo-EM structure of the NDH-PSI supercomplex of spinach. Thanks to Werner Kühlbrandt, Alex Hahn and Max Planck Institute of Biophysics! 🍃❄️🔬 You can find the paper in open access in NatureStructMolBiol nature.com/articles/s4159…
Great review on mitochondrial lipids Katsu Funai why is it critical for the outer and inner membranes to have different lipid composition? cell.com/cell-metabolis…
Beautiful animation of metabolic flux in the mitochondrial Kreb (TCA) cycle The three "CO2" coming off the cycle is how you lose weight: carbon from your material body coming off as gas you end up breathing out By Janet Iwasa
Another wonderful collaboration with Alan Brown lab. The Zhang lab together with Polina Lishko lab (co-first author Qingwei Niu) contribute the doublet microtubule structure from Crithidia fasciculata, a model organism that infects mosquitoes. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
The final version of our work on the in-cell architecture of the mitochondrial respiratory chain is now online in Science Magazine 🎉 You can find the full story here science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Verena Resch did a wonderful job on the cover and animation👩🎨
