Dr Konstantinos Thalassinos We are the first group to publish a paper on how a new cyclic ion-mobility mass-spectrometry (cIMMS) device, manufactured by Waters, can be used to probe protein structure and dynamics. In particular, the tandem ion mobility capabilities of the instrument allow us to probe in very fine detail protein unfolding pathways and for

The Symposium was held in the Clore Management Centre at Birkbeck on Thursday 25th and Friday 26th April. Gorjan, from Professor John Ward's group, presented on 'Applying bacterial competition to evolve novel antibiotics.' Hugo, from Dr.

This was installed after Easter and is starting to become operational. This is the first machine of its type to be installed permanently at an
Read MoreDr Salvador Tomas has been awarded a Leverhulme Research Project Grant to study and develop lipid vesicle-based, stimuli-responsive nanoreactors Lipid vesicles resemble empty cells, a starting point where to build up programmable cell-like robots by the step-wise addition of molecular machinery. Developing such robots requires that we understand how chemical transformations are influenced by confinement within
