A structural biology approach to understand IMPDH2 rod-ring structures in Embryonic Stem Cells

IMPDH2 is a critical enzyme responsible for the rate limiting step of purine nucleotide biosynthesis. In naïve pluripotent stem cells, it forms large rod-ring structures (RRs) which are hypothesised to control the enzyme’s output when the pool of guanine nucleotides is in high demand. Read more

Decoding the Directionality of Microtubule-based Transport using Structural Cell Biology

How are cargoes trafficked within cells with such speed and directional precision? Our research aims to address this question by using structural cell biology to uncover the molecular mechanisms of transport by microtubule-based motor proteins, with a particular focus on the formation and function of the primary cilium.

Investigating proteins that build the outer membrane of antimicrobial resistant bacteria

Antimicrobial resistant (AMR) micro-organisms cause a major global threat to modern medicine. Gram-negative, double-membraned bacteria (such as Escherichia coli) are particularly difficult to treat, in part because they have an outer membrane (OM) that acts as a barrier against antibiotics.
