Kai Sundmacher, and Dr. Rumiana Dimova. We have acquired cryo-EM data for a designed respiratory chain. We were able to visualize the transmembrane protein bo3 oxidase inside synthetic membranes, which is essential for successful and targeted engineering of respiration and similar membrane systems. In addition, we were able to characterize membrane properties of a variety of artificially designed membrane polymers. Our Glacios proves to be not only essential for getting protein structures, but also important for studying physical chemical systems, designed from the bottom-up. Well done to all the authors, and we are really confident that putting the Glacios to such tests will provide unprecedented details in the structure of artificially-designed functional membrane-protein interactions!<br>Publication can be found online <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"here (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pnas.org\/content\/early\/2020\/06\/16\/1919306117\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> and pdf can be downloaded from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"here (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pnas.org\/content\/pnas\/early\/2020\/06\/16\/1919306117.full.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"322\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/kastritislab\/files\/2020\/06\/Screenshot-2020-06-18-at-15.25.42-1024x322.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/kastritislab\/files\/2020\/06\/Screenshot-2020-06-18-at-15.25.42-1024x322.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/kastritislab\/files\/2020\/06\/Screenshot-2020-06-18-at-15.25.42-300x94.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/kastritislab\/files\/2020\/06\/Screenshot-2020-06-18-at-15.25.42-768x241.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/kastritislab\/files\/2020\/06\/Screenshot-2020-06-18-at-15.25.42-1536x482.png 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/kastritislab\/files\/2020\/06\/Screenshot-2020-06-18-at-15.25.42.png 1732w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>bo3 oxidase in lipid vesicles (on the left, red cycle), hybrid vesicles (middle image) and inside polymer (on the right).
