In our study in @natcomms.nature.com we used #EPR #DEER #PELDOR spectroscopy with single subunit heterologous spin labelling and monitored the entire cap conformational ensemble of the human mechanosensitive TRAAK channel and showed it adopts two states in membranes. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Congratulations to Maria Chiara Pagliero and Anand Anilkumar who were the winners of the IEPRS Poster Prizes awarded from the International EPR Society at the 10th EFEPR Summer School at The University of Manchester @officialuom.bsky.social

In our study @elife.bsky.social we uncover the mechanism of mPPase inhibition. Over 20x structures to date are in a symmetric form. We use EPR(PELDOR/DEER) and reveal asymmetric binding at the active site while maintaining symmetric conformation at periplasmic site elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

Apply now for the 10th EFEPR Summer School in Manchester, UK, 31st Aug – 6th Sept 2025. Attendees will receive training in advanced EPR theory & methods including hands on practical sessions. chemistry.manchester.ac.uk/epr/connect/... Expression of interest deadline: 21st Mar 2025

In our recent article we show the YbiO mechanosensitive channel can achieve pore openings of 3nS under membrane tension equalling the largest known gated-pore MscL and we also solve a cryo- EM structure of a YbiO in a sub-open state. Great effort by @lane-b.bsky.social www.cell.com/structure/fu...

We reviewed recent pulsed EPR Spectroscopy (PELDOR/DEER/PDS) applications on integral membrane proteins, enabled through Spin Labelling. Great to see the field moving forward! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
