Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Michelaɴɢʟo is an easy to use and open-source website (michelanglo.sgc.ox.ac.uk) where one can create sharable, customisable and secure pages that use the NGL library to display the protein interactively. The starting point is a PyMOL file, PDB file, PDB identifier code or protein/gene name. The key feature is the ability to create hyperlinks that control the protein view — all without requiring any coding knowledge. Additionally, the generated pages contain instructions on how to implement the interactive views on one’s own pages. Within our group, using Michelaɴɢʟo has proven far more effective than text and static images to show non-biochemists the predicted strength or weakness of a mutation. Therefore, we hope this tool will allow more biochemists to utilise interactive protein views.
