We investigate molecular machines and cell-surface proteins using cutting-edge cryoEM
Another PhD opportunity in my lab starting in September 2026. The CSC-funded project aimed at Chinese nationals will explore the structure and function of the archaellum machinery. #ArchaeaSky. If you are interested, get in touch with me! www.exeter.ac.uk/research/ins...

This is incredibly beautiful, and the fact that the resolution is sufficient to follow the path of DNA spooling inside the virion head and through the tail is amazing

Check out this lovely S-layer review everyone!
Archaeal S-layer proteins can adopt different symmetries that can locally accommodate areas of high curvature. The S-layer is also involved in the control of turgor and osmotic pressure, ion transport, cell-cell interactions and mating.

The S-layer is a crystalline protein coat found at the cell envelope of most #archaea, forming a hexagonal symmetry resulting in geometric pores. These self-assembling structures have exciting potential for #nanotechnology! The stunning images were provided by the Daum lab. #ARCTECH #microbiology

The archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius has four different surface filaments. Each of them plays its special role in motility, adhesion, biofilm formation and mating. Our latest cryoEM foray into three of these unique structures is now published: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
