Welcome to the group, Maiken! (22.04.2022)
This week, Maiken Fridal Trones is joining us as a MSc student in our lab in Bergen. She will be working on some interesting mutants of Plasmodium actin.
actomyosin structure
High-resolution structures of malaria parasite actomyosin and actin filaments (04.04.2022)
Malaria is one of the most devastating infectious diseases in the world. The parasites causing malaria move by gliding, for which force is generated by an unusual actomyosin motor. We have determined high-resolution cryo-EM structures of the parasite actomyosin and actin filaments and a lower resolution reconstructions of the myosin light chains in the complex.
ISIDORe
Fragment screening for pandemic prepardness (01.04.2022)
A large EU consortium got funding to integrated services for combatting current and future infectious disease outbreaks. BiSS is part of this consortium and offers fragment screening.
