| Lecturer | “Structural characterization of helical objects using cryo-EM” |
| Speaker | Dr. Naoko Mizuno, Research Fellow (Laboratory of Structural Biology, NIAMS, National Institutesof Health) |
| Abstracts | Helical symmetry is one of the molecular arrangements that is widely used in a living organism. The examples of such helices are DNA, actin, microtubule, bacteria-flagella, and dynamin. To know how an asymmetric unit builds up into a helical filament and visualize its geometries, cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a powerful tool. Here, I would like to introduce cryo-EM approaches that I have been performing: 1. Cytoplasmic dynein - microtubule interaction. 2. p150 - microtubule interaction. 3. HET-s prion structural analysis. |
