Check out a recent preprint here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We used GluA2 knock-in mice localize synaptic AMPARs, revealing an 'exclusion zone' relationship between synaptic vesicles and clustered AMPARs and the in-situ structure of the scaffolding interaction between AMPARs and PSD-95.

Reintro: I'm a neuroscientist interested in how cells use molecular topography to control signal transduction. I use #CryoET and mouse genetic tools to map the topography of synaptic proteins and determine in-situ structures of scaffolding interactions that control said topography.
