  • Sweet Success: Crystal structure of the full-length GLP-1 receptor bound to a peptide agonist

    Sweet Success: Crystal structure of the full-length GLP-1 receptor bound to a peptide agonist Jun 1, 2018

    To design such small molecules, a detailed map of the interactions between GLP-1 and its receptor was needed.

  • Structural insights into the mechanism of bacterial ABC transporters

    Structural insights into the mechanism of bacterial ABC transporters Jun 1, 2018

    Bacteria utilise ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters to import nutrients and detoxify themselves. These transporters have been shown to exist ...

  • Structure of the surface layer surrounding Caulobacter crescentus bacteria

    Structure of the surface layer surrounding Caulobacter crescentus bacteria Jun 1, 2018

    Many types of single-celled microorganisms such as bacteria are covered with a protective outer layer of proteins known as the S-layer.

  • How does an inspector call: structures of UGGT, the eukaryotic glycoprotein quality control checkpoint.

    How does an inspector call: structures of UGGT, the eukaryotic glycoprotein quality control checkpoint. Jun 1, 2018

    In all cells derived from animals, plants, fungi and protozoa a single protein called UGGT acts as a quality control checkpoint that inspects ...

  • Insights into the mechanism of colistin resistance from crystal structures of MCR-1

    Insights into the mechanism of colistin resistance from crystal structures of MCR-1 Jun 1, 2018

    Gram-negative bacteria that are extensively resistant to multiple antibiotics are an ever-increasing global threat. Colistin is an antibiotic used ...

  • How human endoglin captures its ligand BMP9

    How human endoglin captures its ligand BMP9 Jun 1, 2018

    Endoglin (ENG)/CD105 is a mammalian glycoprotein that is found in the membranes of cells that line blood vessels. It is essential for healthy ...

Update

The recent Science Division reorganisation has resulted in a rationalisation of the beamlines that were originally members of the Surfaces & Interfaces village. The new Structures and Surfaces Group consists of four beamlines, I05 (Angle Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy – ARPES), I07 (Surface and Interface X-ray Diffraction), B07 (Versatile Soft X-ray Scattering – VERSOX) and I09 (Surface and Interface Structural Analysis – SISA). There will be a much closer working relationship within this new structure, including more extensive internal collaborative research and improved offline facilities to serve the user community. The alignment has extended beyond just the science division and we are now able to work much more closely with engineering colleagues and software developers that are aligned with the new groups, leading to common solutions across the beamlines. Read more ...
  • Using X-rays to investigate cloud chemistry

    Using X-rays to investigate cloud chemistry Jun 1, 2018

    Aerosols – tiny particles in the air – are key to the formation of clouds, as all cloud droplets form when water droplets condense around aerosols.

  • Achieving maximal spin splitting at a crystal surface

    Achieving maximal spin splitting at a crystal surface Jun 1, 2018

    The surfaces of materials can host unique electronic properties, where the electrons behave very differently from the interior. All electrons ...

  • Understanding the behaviour of electrons in spintronic materials

    Understanding the behaviour of electrons in spintronic materials Jun 1, 2018

    As the interface between magnetic and non-magnetic materials is a key feature of spintronic devices, it is crucial to characterise and understand ...
