COMMENTARY ON OUR ARTICLE! A commentary by John Hancock on our article, entitled "Lipid sorting and the activity of Arf signaling complexes", has been published in PNAS!
ART OF SCIENCE! A stamp to celebrate our article in PNAS!
It is a long-standing tradition in John Kuriyan's lab that the first authors design a stamp about their work and their country. This one is Agata's with the crowned Polish eagle.
CONFERENCE! Jorge Navaza was at the Conference on methods and applications in the frontier between MX and Cryo-EM in Barcelona 17-21 September 2017.
The Nobel prize in Chemistry 2017 was awarded on October 4th to Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Franck and Richard Henderson for developing cryo-electron microscopy for the high resolution structure determination of biomolecules in solution. A fantastic day for structural biology! Blow up the picture to see Jorge and a future Nobel prize laureate!
