On March 2013, this great and cultivated man, enthusiastic scientist and teacher passed away. Plenty of curiosity, he was always trying to tackle a new question. Coming from a membrane biology background he enormously contributed to the field of glycobiology. Specifically, he stablished the biochemical/biophysical basis of membrane association for a great family of glycosyltransferases in bacteria/plants. Here five articles:
Tryptophan residues promote membrane association for a plant lipid glycosyltransferase involved in phosphate stress. Ge C, Georgiev A, Öhman A, Wieslander Å, Kelly AA. J. Biol. Chem. 286(8):6669-84 (2011).
High cationic charge and bilayer interface-binding helices in a regulatory lipid glycosyltransferase. Lind J, Rämö T, Klement ML, Bárány-Wallje E, Epand RM, Epand RF, Mäler L, Wieslander A. Biochemistry. 46(19):5664-77 (2007).
Irreversible binding and activity control of the 1,2-diacylglycerol 3-glucosyltransferase from Acholeplasma laidlawii at an anionic lipid bilayer surface. Li L, Storm P, Karlsson OP, Berg S, Wieslander A. Biochemistry. 42(32):9677-86 (2003).
Sequence properties of the 1,2-diacylglycerol 3-glucosyltransferase from Acholeplasma laidlawii membranes. Recognition of a large group of lipid glycosyltransferases in eubacteria and archaea. Berg S, Edman M, Li L, Wikström M, Wieslander A. J. Biol. Chem. 276(25):22056-63 (2001).
Lipid dependence and basic kinetics of the purified 1,2-diacylglycerol 3-glucosyltransferase from membranes of Acholeplasma laidlawii. Karlsson OP, Dahlqvist A, Vikström S, Wieslander A. J. Biol. Chem. 272(2):929-36 (1997).

The 'More Medicines for Tuberculosis' MM4TB-EU-FP7 Research Consortium has been assembled to discover anti-infective agents that will combat tuberculosis. Evolved from the FP6 project, New Medicines for Tuberculosis' NM4TB Research Consortium - which successfully delivered a candidate drug for clinical development two years ahead of schedule - the MM4TB team will apply an integrated approach that includes tripartite screening strategies and medicinal chemistry, functional genomics and structural biology. This combination of approaches is a broad strategy to discover new compounds, perform pharmacological validation, identify targets, and analyse a variety of mechanisms of action during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
