Wave Mechanics of Ciliary Proteins: Quantum‐Enabled Sensing and Energy Transfer in the “Cellular Antenna”

open access: yesAggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
This review surveys eukaryotic cilia as putative quantum‐enabled sensory and regulatory centers. It highlights their multifaceted roles in the cell, focuses on the nontrivial roles of quantum mechanics in their membrane and cytoskeletal proteins, and introduces the essential building blocks enabling quantum properties to survive in the warm, wet, and ...

Postsynaptic protein organization revealed by electron microscopy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Neuronal synapses are key devices for transmitting and processing information in the nervous system. Synaptic plasticity, generally regarded as the cellular basis of learning and memory, involves changes of subcellular structures that take place at the ...

Rational acquisition of laboratory equipment: an accurate mathematical model to estimate the trade‐offs in shared and nonshared equipment

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 638-645, June 2026.
We present a quantitative framework combining cost modelling and queueing theory to estimate hourly access costs, waiting times and congestion levels for shared high‐end scientific equipment. The approach is general, illustrated with cryo‐electron microscopy examples, and implemented in an open‐access online calculator to support evidence‐based ...

Using cryo-electron microscopy maps for X-ray structure determination

open access: yesIUCrJ, 2018
X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) are complementary techniques for structure determination. Crystallography usually reveals more detailed information, while cryo-EM is an extremely useful technique for studying large-sized ...

Cryo‐EM structure of ALC1 in an open conformation bound to a PARylated nucleosome

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 683-699, June 2026.
Reanalysis of a publicly available cryo‐EM dataset identifies a new conformation of the oncogenic chromatin remodeler ALC1/CHD1L bound to a PARylated nucleosome. This new structure reveals the position of the macro domain in the complex, and may help to understand the large conformational change leading to the activation of ALC1.Nucleosomes are the ...

Cryo-electron Microscopy Analysis of Structurally Heterogeneous Macromolecular Complexes

open access: yesComputational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2016
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has for a long time been a technique of choice for determining structure of large and flexible macromolecular complexes that were difficult to study by other experimental techniques such as X-ray crystallography or ...
