Life Sciences Seminar Series

SPEAKER: Holger Stark
Max Planck Institute for Biophysical chemistry, Munich, Germany
TOPIC: High-resolution structure determination of dynamic macromolecular complexes by cryo-EM
WHEN: October 5, 2017, from 16:00
WHERE: Seminar room 132, pavilion A11, University Campus Bohunice, Brno

Abstract

Single particle cryo-EM is a powerful method to determine the high-resolution structures of protein complexes due to recent improvements in electron microscopic instrumentation and data processing. Structures can be determined without the need for crystallization at resolution levels that very often allow atomic model building. We use the method to determine the structure of large macromolecular complexes such as the ribosome, spliceosome and proteasome and we develop biochemical and computational tools to further improve the analysis of the dynamic behavior of these complexes during their reaction cycles. Using cryo-EM therefore allows us to get an understanding of their dynamics behavior at near-atomic resolution which provides valuable information to understand their functional modes of action.

REGISTRATION FOR LUNCH - Thursday 12:30 at Campus River (Registration deadline Wednesday 4th )
