Seems like its finally happening. See you on the new platform. My handle and name are the same. And honestly, its much more fun and much less icky there. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

@bkell1123 It's exceptionally easy. As soon as you open it up there are dozens of science starter packs to follow everyone who has moved over. Follow them & they'll follow back!

It takes two brilliant scientists like @hhefzi and @Nathan_E_Lewis to add fresh insight to a 100-year old phenomenon (subversion of the Warburg effect) AND turn that insight into a perfectly named tool (CHOZeLa) to transform biologics manufacturing. Check out the preprint!

After ~8 years, happy to share work done w/@Nathan_E_Lewis showing you can eliminate the Warburg effect in mammalian cells-w/out impacting growth rate!-by simultaneous knock out of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases and lactate dehydrogenases. Thread below: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

If you work with #proteins, you for sure clearly (or secretively 🤫) work with #glycans too! And that’s where #glycoshield will come handy! Why? Find out in our fresh paper in @CellCellPress 🔥🔥🔥 #glycotime @MCB_UJ @MPIbp
Matt Sikora@BioPhysMatt

Worried about your supercomputer electricity bill⚡️ We got your back! Model your glycans in minutes with #GlycoSHIELD! Amazing collab w/ @cyril_hanus & Shang-Te Danny Hsu, now in @CellCellPress tinyurl.com/bdhuzbnu @MCB_UJ @MPIbp @maxplanckpress @Inserm @AcadSinica #glycotime

Probably won't reach the right people here but I have seen *so* many papers using our original 2020 glycan-taxonomy 13k dataset for building stuff; for the love of god, *please* use the 37k dataset from glycowork 😵‍💫It's not only bigger but also much cleaner

So why does it matter that glycans are genetically encoded? Glycans can be >50% of protein’s weight, cover >50% of protein surface, and vital in immunology, metastasis, and autoimmune pathogenesis. Yet, many biologists ignored them because they are hard to measure and control

1/5 Today, I’m sharing 7yrs of work. I believe we discovered a comprehensive mapping from protein structure to glycan structure, a genetic encoding for specific glycans, and a new paradigm in extracellular biology. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #Glycotime

Thanks to Philip Bartels, Thi Nguyen, and again Daniel Sandoval for chasing pathogenic variants with us.
