@professor_dave @DurhamChemistry Really enjoyed your seminar. Great to get the big picture after seeing snippets on this place. But, I might dream of drinking bubble tea and swallowing lots of AuNPs!

Lovely visit to Durham Chenistry today. Met some great people - friends old and new, talked some science, politics, and life, and even managed to stick my head in the awe-inspiring cathedral. @DurhamChemistry

I am recruiting! We're looking for two PhD students to join my new lab's research team at IBB Warsaw. Projects will involve biochemistry, structural biology, bioinformatics and biophysics, studying the superoxide dismutases.

It's interesting that Bacillus grows on those weirdo sugars. Had no idea. Malititol and palatinose are used as sugar substitutes - turanose is found in honey.

Not sure useful to anyone (sure wasn't for us!) but dumping into void in case: Have strain w/ H153Y (CAT→TAT) in MalP (maltose‑specific PTS, IICB component) These are the carbon sources it struggled to grow on compared to WT in biolog assays

@ndbiochemist That’s a bit crazy - be interesting to do some phylogeny on related sequences to see how it has arisen.

@rosh_ba Mostly I just need to refresh C1 metabolism and then have a think. Happy also to give feedback on a draft, if that would be helpful. Or just chat via Zoom.

@ptchivers If you read about it somewhere, let me know. I think I may be the lone ranger on these ideas. Going to be challenging to write the grant proposal twitter.com/JukeBaRosh/sta…
Jen Herman 🌪️@JukeBaRosh

Have lots of replies to messages I've sent that go smth like: "Hey Jen! Lot's to think about here. I'll have to digest & get back to you." Which basically means I am really good at overwhelming people w/info & really bad at distilling down to digestible bits.

Iron demand must be intricately linked to ATP status through respiration. Less iron, less ATP. Interesting to consider how cells might manipulate iron availability to regulate ATP capacity.

@ptchivers Mismetallation also implies pathology & would be evolutionarily selected against as a stasis strategy It's complicated for tweet. The short answer is to reduce 1-C flow & shift to metabolic programs that can generate ATP w/less creationof reactive biproducts.

@ptchivers Now I'm going to risk really confusing you... I think in mitochondria & bacteria, the restrictive condition for growth is actually to increase intracellular labile Zn

@rosh_ba Yes - be interesting to know if there is any proteomics/activity data in Zn-restriction to see what changes, i.e. preservation of metabolic activity and depletion of central dogma activity via loss of cofactor and/or cooy number.
