Our thymine DNA glycosylase story highlighted by SDSC
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
New Paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA
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.

Visit to Berkeley National Lab
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.
3rd DNA Replication/Repair Structures and Cancer Conference
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.
Biophysical Society Meeting
Ivaylo attended the 2018 Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society and presented our new findings on the transcription initiation by RNA polymerase I.
KEYSTONE SYMPOSIUM ON CRYO-EM
Ivaylo attended the 2018 Keystone Symposium “Cryo-EM from Cells to Molecules: Multi-Scale Visualization of Biological Systems” and presented our new findings on the transcription initiation by RNA polymerase I.
GROUP MEMBERS PRESENT AT SERMACS
Group members recently traveled to Charlotte, NC to present at the 2017 Southeastern Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society. Many thanks to all who presented! (Kathleen Carter, Chunli Yan and Tom Dodd)
