This can be found at More about Elspeth Garman Postdoctoral fellows The group’s latest work is to enable 3-D modelling of the dose absorbed by a protein crystal for any beam conditions and a variety of data collection strategies. Since then, I have worked on a variety of problems, and among them has been optimising, understanding and disseminating cryo-crystallographic techniques, and on the physics and chemistry of radiation damage in MX. After working as a Research Officer for 7 years in the Nuclear Physics Department in Oxford, I moved to the Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics in 1987 to look after their newly acquired electronic multi-wire X-ray detector.
in Physics at Durham University and then a Doctorate in Experimental Nuclear Physics at Oxford University in 1980. After a year teaching in a Secondary School in Swaziland, Southern Africa, I obtained a B.Sc. My background is in Physics, so we tend to apply thinking born of physics to our research. My group are interested in the development and optimisation of data collection techniques for structural biology, and in particular for macromolecular crystallography (MX). Publication in Science - Elspeth and Garman Group alumnus, Oliver Zeldin, are co-authors on a recent publication in Science. Elspeth featured at the event giving a talk about how crystallography has changed the world. Presentation at the Royal Albert Hall - The Illuminating Atoms exhibition features photographs by Max Alexander showcasing the work of crystallographers. Furthermore the release available on the website has been updated with several improvments and fixes.ĬCP4 Study Weekend - The Garman group attended the CCP4 study weekend which took place on the 7th -9th January on advances in experimental phasing.Įlspeth wins Humanitarian award - The Women's International Film and Television Showcase (WIFTS) has awarded Elspeth for her contributions to X-ray crystallography.
#VLADIMIR VIMR CODE#
RADDOSE-3D source code released - The source code for RADDOSE-3D has now been publicly released and can be acessed on Github. Why Science? Why Maths? - Jonny took part in the event at Cheney School, delievering hands on crystallography activities and giving a presentation about mathematics in crystallography. She also managed to visit two crystallography students at the University of Puerto Rico. This issue was edited by Elspeth and Martin Weik and features papers by Charlie Bury and Garman Group Alumnus Markus Gerstel.Įlspeth in puerto Rico - The BioXFEL conference took place in Puerto Rico this year and Elspeth was in attendance. Special Issue of JSR - In March 2015 a special issue of the Journal of Synchrotron Radiation on X-ray Radiation Damage to Biological Crystalline Samples was published. It's main aims are the promotion of crystallography in research and the education of young people and others in the methods, possibilities and achievements of crystallographic science. The British Crystallographic Association (BCA) is the UK national association for crystallograpy. Introduction to Crystallographyįor an introduction into the method of X-ray crystallography please see this animation which Elspeth and Jonny helped to produce with Oxford Sparks.
The work and figure was produced by Charlie Bury. The image on the lower right shows the specific damage distribution (red and blue spheres) of the irradiated baterial protein-DNA complex CEsp1396I/DNA. The group also solve protein structures, most recently of arylamine N-acetyltransferase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.įor more information about the group please visit our "People" page hereĪbove is the cover of the special issue of the Journal of Synchrotron Radiation on X-ray Radiation Damage to Biological Crystalline Samples (March 2015). This work currently includes studies on 100K and room temperature (RT) radiation damage and the analysis of liquid and crystalline samples by the tehnique of microPIXE (microbeam Proton Induced X-ray Emission). Our research focuses on developing methods for macromolecular crystallography (MX) to enable problems not previously accessible to structure solution to be tackled. We are part of the Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics at the University of Oxford.
