Researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine identified a small-molecule protein inhibitor that blocks an enzyme that is key to male fertility. Protein crystallography performed at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) beamline 5.0.2 provided valuable structure-activity insights.
Paving the Way for a Solar Fuels Future
A recent Berkeley Lab News Center roundup of “Five Ways LiSA is Advancing Solar Fuels,” included a project led by Molecular Biophysics and Integrated Bioimaging Division Director Junko Yano that could enable characterization, under real-world conditions, of the chemical reactions that take place where a metal catalyst and electrolyte meet.
Caught in the Actinium
Berkeley Center for Structural Biology beamline scientists contributed their expertise to a structural study of the radioactive metal actinium led by the Chemical Sciences Division’s Rebecca Abergel.
Researchers Gain Mechanistic Insight into a Viral-factory Protein
A team that included Banumathi Sankaran of the Molecular Biophysics and Integrated Bioimaging Division studied a protein called σNS, an important component of some viral factories. Understanding how this protein works will foster development of therapeutic strategies against viruses that use similar proteins to replicate.
Researchers Leverage SAXS to Understand Aspect of Microbial Metabolism
A team of Molecular Biophysics and Integrated Bioimaging Division researchers used synchrotron technology unique to the Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Berkeley Lab to probe the conformational states behind electron bifurcation.
