Beyond AlphaFold: Experimental and computational folding of a de novo membrane protein

University of Bristol School of Biochemistry
It has been suggested that the advent of AlphaFold has now “solved the protein folding problem”. In fact, understanding the precise steps that a protein must take in order to adopt a specific, functional threedimensional fold remains a very active area of research. Read more

Mechanistic studies on protein folding and assembly of ciliary dynein motors.

University of Oxford Sir William Dunn School of Pathology
All proteins are made up of amino acids, the building blocks of cells, which are strung together to make a peptide chain. Polypeptide chains get sculpted into their 3‐dimensional shapes to specify a cellular function by additional proteins called molecular chaperones and assembly factors. Read more

Understanding control of genome folding by cohesin

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology
Our basic goal is to understand how chromatin structure influences gene regulation. Chromatin is generally repressive in nature but its structure is manipulated by cells in a regulated way to determine which genes are potentially transcriptionally active and which genes remain repressed in a given cell type.

Identifying new drug targets within Mycobacterium tuberculosis

University of Warwick School of Life Sciences
Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death worldwide and reflects a serious global health challenge. This bacterial pathogen kills more people than malaria and HIV combined, and is increasingly developing resistance to many of the current front-line drugs. Read more

Clock-watchER: Circadian coordination of the plant endoplasmic reticulum

University of Warwick School of Life Sciences
The rotation of the Earth creates periodic day-night changes in environmental conditions such as light and temperature. Organisms are able to adapt to these predictable diurnal cycles through their internal timekeeping system, the circadian clock, which has a periodicity of approximately 24 hours. Read more
