Podcast Series: Scientific Highlights from Instruct-ULTRA Research Projects


In February 2018, three scientific presentations were filmed at the Instruct-ULTRA General Assembly in Oxford, UK. Each focuses on a different structural biology technique, and demonstrates their use to answer key scientific questions.


NMR based hybrid approaches for cellular structural biology

Length: 22 minutes        Presenter: Prof Marc Baldus, Instruct-NL

Prof Marc Baldus from the University of Utrecht gives a short presentation about how NMR can work alongside other structural biology techniques such as cryo Electron Microscopy to determine challenging protein structures. Talk given at the Instruct-ULTRA annual meeting, March 2018 in Oxford. View full screen


Structure and genome delivery mechanism of bacteriophage phi812

Length: 23 minutes    Presenter: Dr Jiřak Nováček, Instruct-CZ

Dr Jiřak Nováček presents new work using cryo-EM to determine the structure of bacteriophage phi812. Talk given at Instruct-ULTRA annual meeting 7 March 2018 in Oxford. View full screen


Structural mass spectrometry

Length: 24 minutes  Presenter: Prof Justin Benesch, Instruct-UK 

Prof Justin Benesch presents recent research using mass spectrometry to determine the structure of difficult proteins, using optimised methods. Talk given at Instruct-ULTRA annual meeting 7 March 2018 in Oxford. View full screen
