Understanding photosynthesis at atomic resolution

18.01.2023
Scientists from the Faculty of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Biotechnology (FBBB) and the Małopolska Centre of Biotechology (MCB) of the Jagiellonian University Krakow teamed up to understand photosynthesis in plants at the atomic level. In detail, the Department of Molecular Biophysics and the Max Planck Research Group determined high-resolution cryo-EM structures of cytochrome b6f, one of the key membrane protein complex in photosynthesis. This complex transfers electrons between plastoquinol and plastocyanin to link functionally plant photosystems, thereby securing electron flow and efficiency of photosynthesis.

Ground-breaking studies into the structure of the Elongator complex

13.01.2023
Wobble uridine carboxymethylation at the tRNAs anticodon is essential for correct protein synthesis. In archaea and bacteria the modification reaction is catalyzed by the Elp3 enzyme, while in eukaryotes the enzyme is a part of the large multi-subunit Elongator complex. The latest work of scientists from the Malopolska Centre of Biotechnology (MCB/UJ) describes the first high resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of Elongator, which sheds light on the role of the Elp456 subcomplex
