Modern cells, ancient proteins and complexes

Prof. Edward M. Marcotte of University of Austin, Texas
Moderated by Prof. Arne Elofsson (Stockholm University)
Supported by Dr Gonzalo Parra.

Abstract:
This webinar describes how our interest in deeply conserved human genes and pathways led us to attempt to systematically determine the core multi-protein assemblies that are shared more generally across eukaryotes—many dating back to the last common eukaryotic ancestor—by directly detecting protein complexes using thousands of mass spectrometry experiments to define their composition and interactions, and how these data inform us about their functions and 3D molecular assemblies.
