Advances in the Determination of Protein Structures | BenchTalk, Episode 7

In this episode, researchers Liz Carpenter from the University of Oxford and Richard Nuetze from the University of Gothenburg discuss the recent advances in structural biology methods that are providing new insights into protein structure analysis.

Also, in our science roundtable with science writers Sarah C.P. Williams and Ashley Yeager, we discuss protein structure analysis, the science policies of the 2012 US presidential candidates, and other science news.

Episode Notes & Links
	Liz Carpenter Interview At the University of Oxford, Liz Carpenter is a principal investigator in the field of protein science and structural biology. In a article published in Current Opinion in Structural Biology in 2008, Carpenter and colleagues stated that "Membrane protein structural biology is still a largely unconquered area...." Richard Nuetze Interview At the University of Gothenburg, Richard Nuetze is professor of biochemistry. In a paper published in Nature in 2000, Nuetze reported on the potential of femtosecond X-ray pulses for protein structure determination studies. Science Roundtable In an article published by BioTechniques in January 2012, Sarah C.P. Williams wrote about researchers from the National Institutes of Health who developed a technique to analyze the structure of proteins encase in nucleic acids. For the Duke University Research Blog, Ashley Yeager wrote an article on Yale physicist Corey O'Hern who studies packing in protein structures. In September 2012, Megan Scudellari wrote about the science policies of the two US presidental candidates. In Science Translational Medicine, researchers reported on a 50-hour diagnosis of genetic disorders in newborns using whole-genome sequencing. In Nature, researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel reported that GFAJ-1 bacteria prefer phosphorus over arsenic.
