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
Integral membrane proteins that are embedded in the cellular plasma membrane make up the vast majority of all approved drug targets. However, the contributions of the membrane lipids to the function and behavior of these membrane-embedded proteins have for years been neglected. Often the membrane itself is seen as just a ‘scaffold’ to hold the protein in place. Using a range of integrated computational and experimental methods (several developed specifically for this project), we explore the interactions between membrane proteins and their surrounding lipid environments to reveal just how intricate, detailed, and balanced the relationship is.
