Schematic model of S100A4-induced NMIIA filament disassembly.The Ca2þ-loaded S100A4 (yellow) binds to NMIIA at the nonhelical tailpiece, partially unwinds the ACD (blue) and sterically blocks myosinmyosin interactions causing filament disassembly.

Carl Tryggers Foundation

Rosmarie Friemann has recieved a 2-year project grant from the Carl Tryggers Foundation.

Erik Malmerberg, Ph.D.

On November 18th, Erik Malmerberg sucessfully defended his Ph.D. thesis "Conformational Dynamics of Rhodopsins Visualized by Time-resolved Wide Angle X-ray Scattering". Opponent for the faculty was Prof. Lise Arleth, Department of Basic Sciences and Environment, University of Copenhagen.

Congratulations to the new doctor of philosophy!
