Structure and function of RNA-protein complexes, electron cryo-microscopy, biochemistry and biophysics, image processing
The Loerch lab studies translational regulation, or simply said, how a cell instructs ribosomes to make the right protein at the right time and in the right place. We use cutting edge cryo-EM methods including single particle analysis (SPA) to determine the high-resolution structures of purified complexes and high-resolution template matching (HRTM) to investigate these complexes in their native cellular environment. Our goal is to establish a more comprehensive understanding of structure-function relationships of specialized ribosomal complexes.
