Structural Studies of Membrane and Soluble Proteins from the Gothenburg and Lund Structural Biology Groups

Our BAG combines the research interests of the Principal Investigators based in Gothenburg (Brändén, Burmann, Hedfalk, Gallego, Höög, Johansson, Katona, Neutze, Westenhoff) and in Lund (Gourdon, , Krintel, Lindkvist, Logan, Törnroth-Horsefield). Most of the PIs are relatively young and represent a strong cluster within Swedish life-science research. We use diverse methods including cryo-crystallography, serial crystallography, X-ray scattering and cryo-electron microscopy. We have scientific interests in a diverse sample of membrane protein and soluble protein targets. This is the first time that we used the BAG structure to request access to the electron microscopy facilities of the ESRF. We also wish to collaborate with scientists at the ESRF to promote and diversify the field of serial millisecond crystallography.
