Structures

62 structures I have helped solve and deposit in the Protein Data Bank since 2002. See also my publications, and the explorer for the technical details of every entry.

3ZE3

Integral membrane diacylglycerol kinase (DgkA)

A small membrane kinase solved with both synchrotron and XFEL radiation.

2YEV

caa3-type cytochrome c oxidase

A respiratory complex IV with its own fused cytochrome c domain.

3PDS

β2 adrenergic receptor with an irreversible agonist

A G-protein-coupled receptor caught in complex with a covalently bound agonist.

5J36

Beak and feather disease virus capsid

The shell of a virus that kills parrots, including the endangered orange-bellied parrot.

6BW9

Hendra and Nipah virus W proteins with importin α

How two deadly bat-borne viruses hijack the machinery that carries proteins into the cell nucleus.

1W9M

Hybrid cluster protein

An iron protein with a strange iron–sulfur–oxygen cluster, and the heart of my PhD.

5KMR

Type II NADH dehydrogenase

A respiratory enzyme that bacteria need and we don't, and so a possible antibiotic target.

6Y84

SARS-CoV-2 main protease

The main protease of the virus that causes COVID-19, with an empty active site.

1GYO

Cytochrome c3 from Desulfovibrio gigas

The first structure I refined and wrote up, from the bacterium Jean LeGall discovered.

2Y5M

Linear gramicidin D in lipidic cubic phase

Showing that small membrane peptides can be solved in meso.

4AFK

AlgE alginate transporter

The pore that Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses to export alginate for its biofilms.

6Q45

F1-ATPase from Fusobacterium nucleatum

The catalytic head of the ATP-making motor from a disease-causing bacterium, and how it keeps itself in check.

2VKR

Zinc-containing ferredoxin from Acidianus ambivalens

A small protein from a hot-spring archaeon with seven iron atoms in two clusters, plus a zinc, all intact.

Pictures are my own renders, made with UCSF ChimeraX.
