PNNL will create and operate the Pacific Northwest Center for Cryo-EM (PNCC), a state-of-the-art national center for cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) that will rapidly and efficiently collect and…

Structure of a lipid transporter for the bacterial outer membrane

Lead Institution

New York University School of Medicine

Principal Investigator

Gira Bhabha

The bacterial outer membrane is a lipid bilayer that plays a key role in resistance to antibiotics, detergents, and other external stresses. Despite decades of research on the bacterial envelope, it…

Towards an atomic-resolution structure of the universal microtubule nucleator: the gamma-tubulin ring complex

Lead Institution

New York University School of Medicine

Principal Investigator

Gira Bhabha

Formation of microtubules (MT) is the basis for segregation of chromosomes during mitosis and establishing the cellular cytoskeleton. MT formation relies on multiple MT nucleation pathways that need…

Protein complexes involved in building and maintaining the bacterial cell envelope

Lead Institution

New York University School of Medicine

Principal Investigator

Gira Bhabha

In double-membraned bacteria, the outer membrane forms a barrier between the cell and the outside world, and acts as the first line of defense against the environment. The outer membrane in double…
