Hello all,
Due to the short notice and recent discussions at group meeting about viral re/assembly reactions, we shall revisit (third time) the paper on the assembly of CCMV capsid protein with CCMV RNA1 by the Zlotnick group.

See you tomorrow!

Dear Colleagues,
This week, we will discuss an article from our collaborator ALN Rao's lab at UC Riverside.
The title is self-explanatory:
"Packaging of Tobacco Mosaic Virus Subgenomic RNAs by Brome Mosaic Virus Coat Protein Exhibits RNA Controlled Polymorphism"
PDF reprints can be found at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1006/viro.2000.0532
See you on Friday!

Dear Colleagues,
Here are two papers from the 70s which investigate the secondary structure of viral RNA molecules by electron microscopy. The first paper by Jacobson investigates the effect of Mg2+, while the second determines the structures of partially denatured RNA. The first paper (by Ann Jacobson) will be the main subject of discussion tomorrow, but those who read the second one can choose to add to the discussion from it.
1) Studies on secondary structure of single-stranded RNA from
Dear Colleagues,
This Friday, we'll continue our discussion on membrane blebbing with a slightly more physical paper titled "Life and Times of a Cellular Bleb" from the Mahadevan group at Harvard.

Hello folks, At journal club tomorrow, we will discuss the paper on membrane rafts from the Simons group. PDF reprints are available at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.0804374105 Please note that the meeting will be at 11am because Bill is not available after 12:30 tomorrow. Also, YH 2050 is not available at 11am, which means we will meet at Bill's office (YH 3047) instead. Best, Ajay
Dear all,

Dear Colleagues,
Tomorrow, we will discuss a paper titled "Expression and purification of an influenza hemagglutinin — one step closer to a recombinant protein-based influenza vaccine"
Reprints are available at http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.vaccine.2005.11.005
See you there!

Folks,
Tomorrow, we'll revisit the paper from Journal Club #99 titled "Nanoengineering artificial lipid envelopes around Adenovirus by self-assembly", which was not completely discussed the first time around. If you did not keep your reprint, you'll find a link at the original announcement here: http://virus.chem.ucla.edu/node/337.
See you tomorrow!
