ANDO LAB at CORNELL

We wrote a perspective to define the biochemical importance of collective structural fluctuations in proteins and how to obtain both structure and dynamics from a single experiment.

Will, Max, Steve, and Nozomi are lecturers in the High Pressure SAXS Workshop at CHESS. Want to learn about SAXS? Check out our slides.

Will defends is PhD! He will start his postdoc at UC Berkeley — go Will!

Formal release of REGALS, a method to decompose time-resolved, high-throughput, and ion-exchange SAXS data in a model-free way. Also on Github!

The Ando Lab is at the virtual ACA meeting! We have 3 speakers, 1 program chair, 2 session chairs, 1 facilitator, 2 hosts, 1 logo designer, and 5 workshop instructors!

The Ando Lab joins many other labs by closing doors in response to the covid-19 pandemic. Remote work begins!

Our diffuse scattering paper is online along with raw data, processed data, code, and theory.

Dynamics from crystallography: the first full description of the information contained in the total scattering from a protein crystal reveals both long-ranged protein-protein interactions and short-ranged domain motions.

The Ando Lab is at the CHESS Users Meeting! Will wins the Best Science Poster Prize. Paper at Nature Communications.

CHEM 7880 begins back-to-back modules on X-ray crystallography, SAXS, and cryo-EM. Thanks to Frank Murphy, John Bacik, Aaron Finke, Jason Kaelber, Michael Cianfrocco, Liz Kellogg, Mariena Ramos, and ChemIT for making this a dynamic, hands-on experience!

A SAXS-based approach to study the evolution of allostery enables rapid structure determination by cryo-EM and crystallography.

The Ando Lab is at ACA Toronto! Steve, Dave (Case), Will, and Max give talks. Will and Max win Etter Student Lecture Awards.
