Bcd is a promiscuous GDH with a rather weak activity against glutamate. A very interesting study but it is rather unclear whether Bcd contributes to glutamate degradation (ck protein amount in the activity assays...). #subtiwiki #glutamate #subtilis nature.com/articles/s4152…

I'm truly excited to announce our new publication in @Nature unraveling a central picture of the Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) activation machinery and it's strong ATP dependency - kudos to @AnujR2d2 for the fantastic illustration! LINK: nature.com/articles/s4158…

@DSchindler_PDR Gratulation! 👏🍾🎊

I'm super excited and grateful-yesterday I was appointed full professor at the Centre for Molecular Biology (ZMBH) at the University of Heidelberg. I am very grateful to my team, colleagues and mentors who have helped me along the way. I very much look forward to the next phase.
