We use atomic force microscopy (AFM) nano-indentation method to measure DNA mobility in the capsid. The mobility of DNA packaged inside the HSV-1 capsid is measured by recording the force resisting the capsid indentation when the AFM tip is brought into contact with the DNA-filled capsid in solution. Force resisting the AFM tip indentation of the capsid is recorded as the force-distance curve. Cap

We use cryo electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and image reconstruction to examine the virion structure at subnanometer resolution. We also analyze structure and density of viral DNA packaged in a capsid. Figure: Cutaway views from cryo-EM reconstructions of (A) HSV-1 C-capsid and (B) phage lambda procapsid and mature DNA-filled lambda capsid. HSV-1 and lambda phage capsids are shown to scale. Owing t

The isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) provides the most direct method to measure the internal energy of the confined viral genome. In order to experimentally dissect the thermodynamic determinants of viral DNA packaging and ejection energetics, we were first to use ITC to directly measure the heat released by DNA ejection from a virus capsid. This approach allows one to address experimentally

Super-Resolution Structured Illumination Microscopy (SR-SIM) provides resolutions down to 120 nm, allowing visualization of individual herpesvirus capsids (HSV-1) attached to the nucleus (HSV-1 C-capsid diameter is 125 nm). Figure: Imaging of reconstituted capsid-nuclei system confirms specific capsid binding to the NPCs at the nuclear membrane. Representative super-resolution SIM image showing G
Despite the structure of packaged viral DNA being central for ejection and consequentially infectivity of the virus, the detailed understanding of the packing structure of DNA inside the viral capsid. SAXS and SANS allow investigation of the structure of DNA filled capsids in solution in a wide range of environmental conditions. SAXS and SANS are powerful techniques that provides detailed structur
For many double stranded (ds) DNA viruses the viral genome is actively packaged into the virus capsid by a powerful molecular motor. This results in an energetically unfavorable state of the packaged genome, creating tens of atmospheres internal pressure inside the virion. Using a new calorimetric assay to determine the activation energy barriers associated with genome loss in response to elevated

Om projektet Under några av 1940-talets första år dog 200 av de patienter som bodde på Vipeholms sjukhus. Vad berodde det på, att så många dog under de här åren? Kan det ha handlat om eutanasi – vilket har framförts men aldrig lett

Elin Bommenel skriver om sjukhuschefen och överläkaren Hugo Fröderberg Under sitt långa yrkesliv fick Hugo Fröderberg (1897–1986) följa utvecklingen av vad som då kallades ”sinnesslövården”. För eftervärlden kom han att bli känd som sjukhuschef och överläkare på Vipeholms sjukhus – Europas största i sitt slag med plats för nästan 1000 ”svårskötta, obildbara sinnesslöa”.

Ett tvärvetenskapligt forskningsprojekt om Vipeholm Under krigsåren 1941–1943 dog ett ovanligt stort antal intagna på Vipeholm. Varför vet vi inte med säkerhet ännu. Genom tvärvetenskaplig arkivforskning arbetar fyra forskare med att ta reda på vad som egentligen hände. Hur tar ett välfärdssamhälle hand om sina marginaliserade, mest sårbara invånare? Och hur har synen förändrats på de människor so

Research at the Division The Division of Particle and Nuclear Physics spans broad across subatomic physics and acts largely within international research environments. We conduct experimental and theoretical research with collider experiments. We are engaged in dark-matter searches, fundamental physics with neutrons, nuclear structure and nuclear reactions at the limits of nuclear stability, as we

The Theoretical Particle Physics group is mainly active in particle physics phenomenology. Work which relates theory to quantitative predictions for collider experiments. The group is subdivided into smaller, more informal, research groups centered around different research areas, which again are clustered into different categories, centered around the individual researchers' projects. They includ

The theory group in Lund has been a pioneer in the field of event generators for high energy physics, with particular emphasis on Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), since the inception of the field in the late 1970s. Today seven seniors, Christian Bierlich, Rikkert Frederix, Gösta Gustafson (emeritus), Leif Lönnblad, Malin Sjödahl, Torbjörn Sjöstrand (emeritus) and Korinna Zapp all work on various aspe

Low-energy particle physics is an area of particle physics covering most things not done at the highest energies. It encompasses what goes under the names of flavour-, precision- and hadronic physics and has strong connections to some areas of nuclear physics. Within the Lund theory group, Johan Bijnens, together with students and post docs, works on projects within all these aspects. In the histo
