"Over the years I02 has generated so many great structures. Most notably, the 2010 structure from Peter Cherepanov’s group on Retroviral intasome assembly and inhibition of DNA strand transfer (DOI: 10.1038/nature08784). This was great work and an example where structural insight helped explain a fundamental biological mechanism. More recently, I02 has been part of producing ground breaking scientific results illustrated nicely by the structures published a month ago from Dave Stuart’s group revealing how Toremifene interacts with and destabilises the Ebola virus glycoprotein (DOI: 10.1038/nature18615). Closing I02 down is not the end – it is the beginning. We will be back online at the end of the year with the new VMXi beamline. VMXi is a completely new type of beamline where we will collect data straight from crystallisation trial on this 100% automatically operated beamline."
So who gets the honour of being I02’s final Industrial Client? Well, that accolade goes to local company Crysalin.
Crysalin, whose offices are based in Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire, was founded in June 2007 to research and develop a protein lattice technology that originated in 2002 in the Oxford University Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics.
Crysalin has received investment from IP Group plc, Longwall Venture Partners LLP (Oxford Technology ECF fund), SandAire, Oxford Spinout Equity Management, Ora ( Guernsey ) Ltd, and the Oxford University Challenge Seed Fund (UCSF).
