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.
Cryo-EM single particle analysis is undergoing rapid changes. In this
talk, I will discuss how developments in sensitive and fast direct
electron detectors yield movies with relatively high signal-to-noise
ratios, and how new image processing techniques to deal with
beam-induced motions and structurally heterogeneous samples are now
yielding near-atomic resolution reconstructions for a wide range of
specimens. I will illustrate the potentials of these methods by
highlighting our recent results on various structures of human
gamma-secretase, the intramembrane protease complex responsible for
cleavage of amyloid precursor protein.
