The Iberian cryoEM community BAG (III)

The Iberian cryoEM BAG is a consortium of approximately 40 research groups from Portugal and Spain, focused on addressing critical biological questions. These include studies on membrane proteins, disease-related metabolic enzymes, antibiotic resistance, DNA replication and maintenance, protein synthesis, viral structure and replication mechanisms, and macromolecular complexes involved in key cellular processes such as protein folding and degradation. For these groups, electron cryo-microscopy is an indispensable tool, and access to ESRF resources is vital for advancing their research and achieving impactful results.

伊比利亚冷冻电镜联合体（Iberian cryoEM BAG）是由葡萄牙与西班牙共计约40个研究团队组成的学术联盟，致力于攻克重大生物学核心课题。其研究方向涵盖膜蛋白、疾病相关代谢酶、抗生素耐药性、DNA复制与维持、蛋白质合成、病毒结构与复制机制，以及参与蛋白质折叠、降解等关键细胞过程的大分子复合物。对于该联盟的科研团队而言，冷冻电子显微镜（electron cryo-microscopy）是不可或缺的研究工具，而获取欧洲同步辐射装置（ESRF）的相关资源，对推进其研究进展并取得具有学术影响力的成果至关重要。
