Group members recently traveled to Boston, MA to present at the 2018 National Meeting of the American Chemical Society. Ivaylo gave a talk entitled “Emerging unified description of transcription initiation from cryo-EM and integrative computational modeling ” in the COMP division (New Frontiers in Flexible Fitting, Image Processing & Refinement of Cryo-EM Data session). Many […]
Congratulation to Dr. Chunli Yan who published a new paper combining computational modeling and cryo-electron microscopy to unveil structures of pre-initiation complexes of RNA Polymerase III. Han, Y.; Yan, C.; Fishbain, S.; Ivanov, I. & He, Y. Structural visualization of RNA polymerase III transcription machineries. Cell Discovery (2018) (in press)
Our project on the base extrusion mechanism of thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG) was highlighted by the San Diego Supercomputer Center. How an Enzyme Repairs DNA via a “Pinch-Push-Pull” Mechanism
Congratulation to Tom Dodd, Chunli Yan, Kurt Martin and Brad Kossmann who published a new paper in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA. Dodd, T.; Yan, C.; Kossmann, B.R.; Martin, K.; & Ivanov I.

Ivaylo visited Lawrence Berkeley National Lab in Feb. 2018 and gave a talk “DNA sculpting as a strategy for base extrusion and damage selection by the repair glycosylase TDG” at the Advanced Light Source synchrotron facility.
Ivaylo gave a talk “DNA sculpting as a strategy for base extrusion and damage selection by the repair glycosylase TDG” at the 3rd DNA Replication/Repair Structures and Cancer Conference in Cancun Mexico.
Ivaylo attended the 2018 Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society and presented our new findings on the transcription initiation by RNA polymerase I.
