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.
Abstract: The pancreatic ATP-sensitive K+ channel (Katp) is a key regulator of insulin secretion due to its ability to couple the membrane potential to changes in intracellular glucose metabolism and is the receptor for the widely-used anti-diabetic sulfonylurea drugs. Greg, a PhD student with Prof. Show-Ling Shyng in Portland Oregon, has been using recent advances in cryo-EM to reveal near-atomic details of channel gating and regulation by sulfonylureas, while also confirming many of the in-depth functional experiments conducted over the last three decades.
