Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The recent advances in electron detection and image processing are reviewed and the exciting new opportunities that they offer to structural biology research are illustrated.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The structure of bovine rhodopsin supports a mechanism for the activation, initiated by photo-isomerisation of the chromophore to its all-trans form, that involves pivoting movements of kinked helices, which, while maintaining hydrophobic contacts in the membrane interior, can be coupled to amplified translation of the helix ends near the membrane surfaces.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The crystal structure of a bacterial SMC "hinge" region along with EM studies and biochemical experiments on yeast Smc1 and Smc3 proteins show that SMC protamers fold up individually into rod-shaped molecules.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A new X-ray diffraction data-analysis package is presented with a description of the algorithms and examples of its application to biological and chemical crystallography.
Abstract: The DIALS project is a collaboration between Diamond Light Source, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and CCP4 to develop a new software suite for the analysis of crystallographic X-ray diffraction data, initially encompassing spot finding, indexing, refinement and integration. The design, core algorithms and structure of the software are introduced, alongside results from the analysis of data from biological and chemical crystallography experiments.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is shown that reducing corticosteroid levels in aged rats restored the rate of cell proliferation, resulting in increased numbers of new granule neurons, indicating that the neuronal precursor population in the dentate gyrus remains stable into old age, but that neurogenesis is normally slowed by high levels of Corticosteroids.
Abstract: The production of hippocampal granule neurons continues throughout adulthood but dramatically decreases in old age Here we show that reducing corticosteroid levels in aged rats restored the rate of cell proliferation, resulting in increased numbers of new granule neurons This result indicates that the neuronal precursor population in the dentate gyrus remains stable into old age, but that neurogenesis is normally slowed by high levels of corticosteroids The findings further suggest that decreased neurogenesis may contribute to age-related memory deficits associated with high corticosteroids, and that these deficits may be reversible
