Structures of kainate receptor channel GluK2 in the apo closed and open conducting states, both with 2-fold symmetrical LBD layer. To open the channel, we used agonist kainate and positive allosteric modulator BPAM but no Concanavalin A! @shantigangwar

3/ Awardee @mimi1inh tackles the complex challenges of protein sequencing by leveraging molecular machinery made by microbes. Her work could revolutionize how we study protein function structure, & our understanding of biology🤯.
🥳Congrats Dr. Ho! @Columbia

Vertebrate retrotransposons are the future of gene therapy. But how do they insert their genes? 🔥🔥
Thrilled to present part 2 of my postdoctoral work with @NogalesLab @CollinsRNPLab @berkeleyMCB where we investigate this using #CryoEM and transgene insertion in 🧪 and cells!
