Frontiers in Microscopy and Microanalysis Seminar - Single particle cryo-EM of TRPV1: from atomic structure to gating mechanism

22 November 2021

You are invited to our next Frontiers in Microscopy and Microanalysis Seminar with a talk by Professor Yifan Cheng from the Howard Hughes Medical Institution, University of California.

Date/Time: Tuesday 23 November, 12:00 – 13:00 (AEST)

Title: Single particle cryo-EM of TRPV1: from atomic structure to gating mechanism

Presenter: Professor Yifan Cheng

Zoom: https://uqz.zoom.us/j/83091994220

Abstract:

Structural studies of TRPV1, a heat activated ion channel, by single particle cryo-EM has changed the landscape of structural biology. With the technological advancements, our understanding of TRPV1 gating mechanism also deepens. I will review the journey of studying TRPV1 structures from determining its first atomic structure to revealing its polymodality of channel gating.

All welcome!
