I am happy our recent study on the human sperm head-tail junction is now online. We find that SUN5 form an hexagonal lattice at the nuclear membrane, rationalising how mutations in SUN5 lead to infertility. Great work of

Happy to see this out :) How close does single-particle cryo-EM get to in situ structure determination? In this review,
@tzviyazbm.bsky.social
and I explore recent examples of studies that we believe push the boundaries of what's possible.

Latest preprint from the lab, many years in the making! By combining
#cryoEM
with
#AlphaFold3
modelling, we propose that norovirus NS3 forms a transmembrane RNA translocase. This could have big implications for our understanding of viral replication & assembly (🧵)
