Bacterial proteins co-opt host cell skeletal elements to spread infection
Rickettsia bacteria are transmitted by the bites of infected ticks and other arthropods, and cause diseases such as typhus and spotted fever.
Paving the way for BioSAXS users
BioSAXS experiments require careful preparation. Many users (even though they may be experienced crystallographers) are new to the technique, and MacCHESS' Richard Gillilan and Alvin Acerbo spend a great deal of time “holding hands” of biologists using the BioSAXS facility for the first time.
MacCHESS/CHESS on screen
A video spotlighting MacCHESS, and some other work at CHESS, has been produced by WebsEdge.
The role of subunit Rtt102 in SWI/SNF remodelers
Each cell contains a copy of one’s genome encoded in the form of a double-stranded DNA molecule. If laid out in a linear fashion, it would reach several feet in length.
Radicals can be stabilizers: Trapping an active ribonucleotide reductase complex
Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) is essential for DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. RNR is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of nucleotide diphosphates (NDPs) to deoxynucleotide diphosphates (dNDPs), the building blocks of DNA.
New beamline, dedicated lab space, new equipment!
The FALL 2013 commissioning of G1 line as the new home for BioSAXS far exceeded our expectations! Beam stability was rock solid and we were able to routinely collect data below q = 0.006 A-1 at a faster pace than ever!
