Cell Biology of Virus Infection (Kay Grünewald)

Virus

Cells constitute the smallest autonomous units of life. Supramolecular complexes carry out essentially all functions and processes and form the cells structural elements. The tightly regulated structural and functional organization of a cell at this level is currently only rudimentary understood....


Modeling of Protein Complexes (Friedrich Förster)

teaser
Complexes that are associated to lipid membranes carry out many important cellular functions, but their structures are largely elusive to date. We unravel the structures of membrane-associated complexes by integration of cryoelectron tomographic data into modeling of protein assemblies.
