CSB Research Spotlight: Wankowicz Lab – From single snapshots to shapeshifting proteins
A new collaborative project called diffUSE involving Vanderbilt University, Cornell University and the University of California, San Francisco is advancing scientist’s understanding of protein motion.
The Wankowicz lab is a primary contributor to the $5 million, three-year project led by the Astera Institute. The project uses diffuse scattering, an overlooked signal measured by X-ray crystallography, to determine how protein dynamics are characterized, leading to a new paradigm in dynamic structural biology.
Read more about how Project diffUSE is moving from a single, static structure to a dynamic, shapeshifting protein.
