Professor Bo Liu, Department of Plant Biology, holds an Arabidopsis plant while Professor Jawdat Al-Bassam, Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, holds a model of the augmin protein complex. Liu and Al-Bassam have worked out the structure of the augmin complex, which plays a vital role in maintaining the protein skeleton in both plant and animal cells.
