A research team involving structural biologist Professor Christos Gatsogiannis and chemist Professor Bart Jan Ravoo has shown that peptides carrying a flat carbon network aggregate into long fibres in water. Using cryo-electron microscopy, the researchers analysed the structure with record resolution.
A research team led by structural biologist Prof. Christos Gatsogiannis has gained new insights into the workings of a cellular transporter — a protein essential for pathogenic fungi to absorb vital nutrients. These findings could contribute to the development of new therapeutic strategies against fungal infections in the long term.
In our videos, scientists provide multifaceted insight into their research and everyday work. They talk about current research questions, their new findings and how these findings were generated. They also talk about their personal motivations, the experiences they have had while on their career path and the framework of the scientific system. The videos are in either English or German and many of them have subtitles available in both languages.
