University of Birmingham, final year MIBTP student, Rachael Grime has co-authored a paper as part of a collaboration that came from COMPARE (Centre of Membrane Proteins and Receptors) which is a partnership between the University of Birmingham and the University of Nottingham. COMPARE funded Rachael's visits to Nottingham so that she could take the technology from her home lab (solubilising GPCRs without detergents, using SMALPs) and apply it to be trained in a specialised microscopic technique (FCS) which is done in Nottingham. The resulting paper is titled: Single molecule binding of a ligand to a G-protein-coupled receptor in real time using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, rendered possible by nano-encapsulation in styrene maleic acid lipid particles.
