4 Sep 2020: Venki Ramakrishnan’s group has solved the structure of the protein complex formed when mRNA is being scanned to find the start codon, providing new understanding of the molecular mechanisms underpinning initiation of translation.

21 Oct 2020: Looking at the precise 3D arrangement of atoms within a protein helps us to understand how it can perform its functions. Radu Aricescu’s and Sjors Scheres’ groups have now been able to resolve individual atoms for the first time in a

7 Jul 2020: Although many of the cells in our bodies have their own local clocks, the principal circadian clock is the SCN, a network of approximately 20,000 cells in the hypothalamus.

8 Jul 2020: Menna Clatworthy’s group has identified a key signalling molecule in determining the balance between wound healing and defence against bacterial invasion, with implications for our understanding of the immune system’s role in inflammatory bowel

22 Sep 2020: Julian Gough has been named the Cambridge Enterprise Academic Entrepreneur of the Year for his work with Mogrify.

9 Sep 2020: John Briggs’ group has uncovered the atomic structure of M1 matrix proteins, and their ordered arrangement within the influenza A virus, suggesting mechanisms for two critical processes in the infection cycle.

20 Jul 2020: Published on. 20 July, 2020. Diagram showing the reverse transcriptase structure (white) with nascent cDNA strand (red), XNA template (green) and regions critical for reverse transcription of XNA templates (blue and

2 Dec 2020: Human GPCRs are the targets of approximately 34% of all FDA-approved drugs. GPCRs in fungi could also be useful drug targets, but no structures of fungal GPCRs had been solved. Chris Tate’s group has now determined the first structure of a fungal

15 Jul 2020: Ana Tufegdzic Vidakovic joins as a new Group Leader in the PNAC Division, where she will continue her work on regulation of transcription in the context of DNA damage.
