The Structure Meets Function webinar series is back, and this month we have a very special guest speaker. The latest webinar in the series will feature Markus Weingarth, author and lead on the spectacular new paper "Teixobactin kills bacteria by a two-pronged attack on the cell envelope" (Shukla et al, 2022).
The webinar will take place on 6 September 2022 from 11:00 to 12:00 CET.
Moderator: Prof Harald Schwalbe, Instruct-ERIC Director
Speaker: Markus Weingarth, Associate Professor at Bijvoet Centre
Abstract: The group of Markus Weingarth studies the mode of action of membrane-active antibiotics on several length scales (micrometre to angstrom) using solid-state NMR as core technique. This talk will focus on the recent discovery of the supramolecular killing mechanism of the antibiotic teixobactin (Shukla et al., Nature, 2022).
This is a reminder to apply for the Instruct-ERIC R&D Pilot Call - get funding of up to €15,000!
Closing 14:00 CEST on 15 April, the Instruct-ERIC R&D Funding Call invites early career researchers to submit proposals to access Instruct technology, equipment, and expertise from our 27 facilities across Europe for small scale pilot research projects in integrated structural biology.
Register now for the 32nd edition of the Instruct-ERIC Structure Meets Function webinar series, taking place on Zoom, 17 April at 11:00 CEST.
The latest webinar will have two speakers who have accessed the Instruct-ERIC facilities, expertise, and machinery via the ISIDORe project.
