A large diverse group of people waving and smiling at the camera in front of scientific posters displayed on a wall.
That’s a wrap on our @embo.org #cryoFIB & #cryoET course!
It was an incredible week of hands-on learning, collaboration, and shared expertise, made possible by dedicated organizers, incredible trainers, and an engaged group of participants.
Check out our latest exciting work on multidrug resistant A. baumannii biofilms
🌀 We solved the structure for T. denticola periplasmic flagella!
I'm very happy to finally showcase this work. A huge collaborative effort between myself, @bindusmitapaul.bsky.social, @debnathghosal.bsky.social, Jack Kim, @banfieldlab.bsky.social, Eric Reynolds and the Chris Fenno lab.
🦠 Enjoy!
Wonderful spirochete asymmetric flagellar structural work by @lucatroman.bsky.social Grateful to be part of the story supported by @debnathghosal.bsky.social
🌀 How do spirochete bacteria swim through thick fluids like champions?
We solved T. denticola flagella structure - asymmetric proteins expand one side, compress the other for perfect corkscrew motion!
