OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
