During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).
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.
