@fs_chemiehd Franziska, we missed you in Alpbach in September.

On Tuesday 21.01.25 at 17.15 Jun.-Prof. Dr. Franziska Thomas will be holding a talk in Hörsaal West, Im Neuenheimer Feld 252. Her talk is titeled "Chemical Plays on Cellular Grounds: Rethinking Biology from a Peptide Chemistry Perspective"

Shouldn't post before my first espresso has jump-started my brain. Great collaborative project on the analysis of hyper-thermostable nanotubes whose surprising existence was first noticed by researchers at the University of Regensburg over 40 years ago. @EmoryChem

nature.com/articles/s4146… Finally published. On to the next one.

Exciting opportunity to join the University of Bristol as a BBSRC-funded Research Associate (4 years) working between us and @MarkDodding's lab. The post is on designing de novo peptides and proteins using both rational design and computational design and protein biochemistry.

@Tian_Yu1 Is that more or less cynical? I need to know the answer for myself. Seems that after Covid, I am more busy and more cynical, still working a lot of hours.

Scrolled back to see my old tweets a few years ago. I was working a lot of hours, I was cynical, I was curious, I was judgemental, and I was always heading towards something and looking forward to the next venture. Let 2025 brings back the younger personality!

Donor Strand Complementation and Calcium Ion Coordination Drive the Chaperone-free Polymerization of Archaeal Cannulae biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Happy that the preprint is now published. Great collaboration with fantastic colleagues. @conticellolab @EmoryChem

@Rajkuma84458765 @conticellolab @EmoryChem I woke up from my X-nap to post this paper. What year is it now? Signed X van Winkle.

@VincentContice2 @conticellolab @EmoryChem Outstanding work

Please retweet!📢📢 We are looking to appoint a BBSRC-funded post-doctoral research associate to work in the area of de novo enzyme design with alpha-helical barrels using computational design, protein biochemistry, and directed evolution. More details below

Mono-pilus (found in both rich and poor media) conforms to canonical archaeal T4P structures where all subunits are equivalent, whereas in the other filament, the tri-pilus (only found in poor media), its outer domain flips almost 180° and trimerizes on the pilus surface.

@Christo92980592 Great stuff. Kudos to all. Glad that it is in print. @jerrynosnothing

Here is our paper showing microbial nanowires are ubiquitous and not restricted to Geobacter. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

@SuZhangli @UABGenetics Congrats and Good Luck Zhangli.

A personal update while working on #RNA23 badge... Excited to announce that Su Lab will open its door @UABGenetics in July! We are recruiting at all levels for anyone who is interested in RNA modifications, gene regulation, NGS analysis and cancer biology. (1/4)

@stacey_chin @NatureMaterials Good luck, Stacey. Sure to be an enjoyable journey.

I’ll be moving over to a senior editor role at @NatureMaterials, based in their NYC office! Excited for new adventures and hope to be seeing many people still at conferences, lab visits, and meet-ups in the future!

It’s been a great run over the past 4 years at @Matter_CP but it’s time for some new opportunities for me! I’ll miss my coworkers immensely, but I’m incredibly proud of the journal & community the team has built, and can’t wait to see what else is to come from them 💜

Super cool use of #AlphaFold from the world famous @zhangf lab to help them develop a novel molecular syringe that could act as a new type of drug delivery system that could potentially target things like cancer cells! genengnews.com/insights/natur…

Check out our latest paper on @ACSSynBio about designing phosphorylation-responsive coiled coil assemblies. Many congrats to Harry and co! Read it here: scholar.google.com/scholar_url?ur…
