Nature x 2!
In collaboration with the labs of Tom Rapoport and Chris Akey, we have determined a new cryo-EM based structure of membrane-protein insertion intermediate. See the article here.

Meetings in CO
JC just returned from two back-to-back meetings in Snowmass, CO. He presented work on small-helix partitioning in membranes at the first meeting on Free Energy Methods and structures of BamA and a new complex between SecY and a nascent chain at the second meeting on Membrane Proteins. Not all the time was spent in front of a screen though, as the picture to the right clearly shows!
