OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Structural Biology using single particle cryoEM and molecular/cellular cryo-electron tomography (cryoET) has become a major tool for studying macromolecular assemblies that are intrinsically flexible and dynamic, and often function in higher-order assemblies that are difficult to purify. The study of these complexes in situ using cryoET and sub-tomogram averaging at near atomic resolution, coupled with cryoFIB and correlative/integrative imaging, opens a new frontier in structural cell biology, as exemplified in virus infection and bacterial chemotaxis signaling.
