Electron cryo-microscopy sheds light on how bioenergy makers are made in our body
2021-02-22
Using advanced infrastructure at SciLifeLab and Stockholm University, scientists uncover how the body’s energy makers are made. A new paper published in Science by Alexey Amunts’ laboratory with an international team of researchers reports the molecular mechanism of membrane-tethered protein synthesis in mitochondria.

Mapping energy conversion in cells
2021-02-10
Billions of years of evolution are behind the ingenious protein machinery in nature’s cells, which captures and converts energy. Ville Kaila is conducting a detailed study of the structure and function of the proteins to learn more about the energy conversion process. That knowledge may eventually result in therapies for diseases where the powerhouses of the cells fall short.

Decision due to the new coronavirus on planning teaching and examinations Spring-21
2021-01-21
Teaching and examination at Stockholm University will continue to be conducted mainly digitally during the spring term 2021 and until further notice in line with the guidelines that applied during the latter part of the autumn term 2020.
This continues to mean that teaching that require physical attendance may not gather more than eight people, and that no hall exams are given.
Detailed planning for the teaching during the spring term is done by the departments.
