Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Most proteins function inside cells and in environments that are vastly different from the experimental in vitro setups we typically use to characterize them. So what do proteins actually look like inside live cells? Although this question may seem naive, it is far from being answered easily. This is largely due to the physical requirements of most Structural Biology methods, which are incompatible with intact cellular samples. Here, I outline the use of solution-state NMR spectroscopy to derive atomic-resolution insights into the structure and function of proteins in eukaryotic cells. Specifically, I describe how we employ in-cell NMR spectroscopy to study biological activities ranging from post-translational protein modifications in response to cell signaling, to the formation of intracellular amyloid aggregates during neurodegenerative disease processes.
