The 2018 Cancer Society Junior Investigator Award is granted to Alexey Amunts at DBB.
2018-03-23
Amunts from Stockholm University and SciLifeLab is one of the four early career investigators that were selected to receive a six-year research support. “Our research group studies how proteins are synthesized folded and assembled into functional multicomponent membrane complexes that drive the cellular energy production. These processes are reported to be upregulated in cancer,” explains Amunts.

Small membrane proteins regulate respiration in mitochondria
2018-03-22
Energy conversion in living organisms is carried out by large protein complexes composed of multiple components. Small regulatory proteins control this process by changing the distance between these components and modulating their activities. In a recent publication, the structure of such a small regulatory protein was determined, revealing surprising features that are tightly linked to its function.

A biological switch regulates the amounts of DNA building blocks
2018-02-02
The enzyme that produces DNA building blocks continues to amaze. The latest surprise is that the enzyme’s on/off switch is positioned at a completely novel site in some marine bacteria. Evolution has once again used an existing component in a new way.

The cryoelectron microscope has opened researchers' eyes on a whole new atomic level.
2018-01-22
Alexey Amunts at DBB and SciLifeLab in Solna has been investigating the molecular structure of ribosomes in mitochondria and chloroplasts for years. Now a new opportunity has opened: visualization using cryoelectron microscopy. (Read article in Swedish)
