So excited to finally share this work - structure of Cx46/50 gap junction intercellular channels in a dynamic lipid environment, resolved at 1.9 Å by #CryoEM! With some MD-simulation to make it dance ;) Check it out on BioRxiv: shorturl.at/iEW34
Lead by an extraordinary team of grad/undergrad students: Jonny Flores (@CryoEMJonny), Bassam Haddad (@BassBioPhys), Kim Dolan and Janette Myers – and our wonderful collaborators Craig Yoshioka (@craigky), Jeremy Copperman and Dan Zuckerman @psu_research, @OHSUSOM
We see a stunning effect of Cx46/50 on the local lipid environment - effectively inducing a phase separation (to the gel state) that is specific to the extracellular lipid leaflet of the two opposed membranes
1.62 Å from the first post-installation test dataset of our Krios @UTokyo_News_en. Thanks to the superpowers of #Relion3, @SjorsScheres @biochem_fan. Also thanks to a great apoferritin prep by Yanagisawa-san from @mkikkawa lab.

Trefoil (threefold astigmatism) visible in the phase difference plot from #Relion3 CtfRefine. This makes me believe that in the future higher order aberrations will be correctable in software .
