@ATinyGreenCell This would be the only way I would ever beat Malenia

Me and who and who and who?

@ATinyGreenCell It’s okay, clearly their AI model isn’t well trained. If you’re gonna talk about SBU, at least mention Roth Regatta

Ooooof how I hate this. They're using Ai to scrape PR material intel and barf out some seemingly personal info to hook you into a cold email about some thing they wanna sell you. We're approaching peak cynicism. The future will be thoroughly disingenuous and so gross.

Today @StonyBrookChem hosted our 25th Chemistry Research Day! Great chance for students to present their work. Proud of both the undergraduate students that work with me, they both presented their first posters and absolutely crushed it! #proudmentor @group_boon

The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in chemistry Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have successfully utilised artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins. In 2020, Hassabis and Jumper presented an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, they have been able to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins that researchers have identified. Since their breakthrough, AlphaFold2 has been used by more than two million people from 190 countries. Among a myriad of scientific applications, researchers can now better understand antibiotic resistance and create images of enzymes that can decompose plastic.

Am I making overnight cultures, or are the flasks worshipping their leader? The world will never know

@liv4bacteria lol we all have this gel

iykyk

The lovely things you see cleaning out the old -20 C freezer your lab inherited. 🐍🐍🐍

@ATinyGreenCell Have you tried higher concentrations of histidine elutions. I’ve never used sand based resins, but at least for IMAC we use 20 mM imidazole only releases the weakly bound proteins. We bump up to 250 mM to elute, so maybe higher would work?

20mM histidine (diluted 10x from 200mM stock) doesn't seem to release the purple protein from the sand. Gotta go read the paper and replicate asap. Robust binding, but how to release?

OMFG IT WORKS?!?! tsPurple + 6xHis tag eluted in water Added 20uL of 100mg/mL silicon dioxide to 200uL of protein sample. Vortexed and incubated 5mins at room temp against empty sand control. Will do a better experiment tomorrow. WOW Sand link: a.co/d/09XCT0C

Lactate is an important substrate🍔for P. aeruginosa in infection sites. We show that PA’s “redundant” lactate dehydrogenases are used by different biofilm subpopulations and contribute to survival within macrophages🦠Great work by @Lindsey_Florek& collabs.doi.org/10.1128/mbio.0…

Amazing opportunity to join the faculty of the Laufer Center for Physical and Quantitative Biology @LauferCenter @stonybrooku apply here by Sept 30: apply.interfolio.com/150310

Kick off the new semester with a fun-filled afternoon with the CIE and Graduate School Welcome Back BBQ! Let's reconnect, share summer stories, and get excited for what's to come 🌭 RSVP at bit.ly/GradBBQ24 or through the link in bio.

@SigmaAldrich Left most of the time. But let me tell you, the two things that go missing 98% of the time in lab are 1) sharpies and 2) scissors So I am definetly guilty of the right hand side too

Which scientist are you?

Natalie was awesome to work with! She did everything. PCR, protein purification, FPLC, HPLC, kinetics, yada yada yada. I could go on and on! Crazy to think how much she was able to do and learn! Any college would be lucky to have her!
