The Pavel Plevka Research Group at Central European Institute of Technology (CEITEC MU) is seeking a postdoctoral scientist to use cryo-electron microscopy and tomography to determine three-dimensional structures of viruses and phages.

Umeå University offers a position as a Project Assistant for 12 months to study replication of staphylococcal bacteriophages using a multidisciplinary approach: genetics, biochemistry and structural biology, such as electron cryomicroscopy

DeepMind's AlphaFold and Meta's ESMFold are two AI-based methods for predicting protein structures. According to this article by Ewen Callaway, DeepMind's method is more accurate but takes longer, while Meta's method is faster but less accu

This preprint by Séraphine Degroux et al. presents the electron cryo-microscopy structure of bacteriophage T5 RBPpb5 in complex with its E. coli receptor, the iron ferrichrome transporter FhuA.

Emily Agnello et al. present the structure of the P74-26 tail tube and introduce an in vitro system for studying the kinetics of tube assembly.

The Central European Institute of Technology at Masaryk University is seeking a post-doctoral scientist to join the Laboratory of Structural Virology. The successful candidate will use cryo-electron microscopy and tomography to determine th

Paper: The M13 phage assembly machine has a membrane-spanning oligomeric ring structure.

Paper: Evolution of phage tail sheath protein.

Experimental Officer at the University of Leicester Cryo-EM Facility. There will be opportunities to collaborate internally on exciting structural biology projects ranging from transcriptional regulation to phage biology.

Paper: Monomodular phage JG004 lysozyme (Pae87) contains a bacterial surface-active antimicrobial peptide-like region and a possible substrate-binding subdomain.

Laboratory Researcher III in Kaelber Lab at Rutgers University to understand the molecular and structural basis of viral infection using cutting-edge structural biology methods

Postdoctoral position: Bacteriophage structures: This exciting opportunity is to work with Trevor Lithgow at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, looking into the structural details of new phages that kill Klebsiella.

The Taylor Group at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark is hiring a Research Assistant for 4 months, to then continue as a PhD fellow for 3 years. This position will use cryo-electron microscopy combined with functional techniques to stud

Mar Pérez-Ruiz (National Centre for Biotechnology, Spain) and colleagues published a paper in PNAS on how phage T7 core components assemble to allow DNA translocation across the bacterial envelope. They solved the structures of the core pro

CRISPR-Cas12j is a recently identified family of miniature RNA-guided endonucleases from phages. Arturo Carabias (University of Copenhagen) and colleagues published a new Nature Communications paper on the structure of CRISPR-Cas12j3. This

Valuable phages have good shelf-life properties, but how can we reliably characterize the structural parts of the phage particle? Tze Thung (Centre to Impact AMR, Monash University) and colleagues published a new mSystems paper on their new

Betty Shen (Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center) and colleagues published a new paper in Structure showing coordination of phage genome degradation versus host genome protection by a bifunctional restriction-modification enzyme visualize

Jānis Rūmnieks (Latvian Biomedical Research and Study Center, Latvia) and colleagues published a new paper in Science Advances showing the 3D structure of 22 uncultured ssRNA phages.

Some phages attach to bacterial flagella, and thus have to withstand high drag and torque. But how? Joshua Hardy, Rhys Dunstan (Monash University, Australia) and colleagues published a new paper in Nature Communications that provides new in

Jason Schrad (Michigan State University) and colleagues published a structural characterization in Cell (through cryoEM, cryoET, and SEM) of how giant virus infection is initiated. They also use proteomics to identify proteins released from
