Excited to share our latest research on leveraging machine learning for the design of novel protein cages! Using cryo-EM, we've successfully solved their structures, achieving 2 Å resolution for one of our designs.

A truly wonderful human being. Phil was my PhD supervisor and the reason I came to JIC. He remained a great sounding board for advice even after he retired from JIC in 2005. He was always available for a call and a chat. RIP Phil.

It has been really exciting to be a part of this very cool project!! We made #VirusLikeParticles of different shapes using #DNAorigami - imagine the potential of these interesting tools to address fundamental questions in virology and biotechnology😍

Where is the RNA? Shielding the genome from damage is essential for viruses. In our recently solved structure of Sweet potato mild mottle virus (SPMMV, genus Ipomovirus), the RNA occupies a binding pocket of each CP in the helical arrangement, as in other structures of potyvirids
ALT The genomic RNA (in red) is located in the binding pocket of CP (5 nucleotides per subunit), as visible in the top view (right). In the side views on the left, an uncolored protein version is shown (bottom) to better appreciate the arrangement of RNA along the virion structure.
