Field Trip to NCCAT! crane.chem.cornell.edu/2022/01/07/fie…

Opportunities: Since 2015, the CHAMPS program has offered high-caliber students from groups traditionally underrepresented in biomedical careers a chance to engage in #scholarship and #research. @CornellSCE @CornellChem @HHMINEWS @CornellCAS news.cornell.edu/stories/2021/0…

Congratulations to Dr. @ZMaschmann for an amazing and successful defense today! 🎉🍾🎉

A couple days late, but a huge round of applause and congratulations to Dr. @ChangfanL for a wonderful thesis defense! 🎉🙌🍾

Turns out surface Met residues can gate solvent accessibility & proton transfer in certain light-oxygen-voltage photoreceptor proteins! Check out our new paper here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… #CornellChem @CornellChem @BiochemistryACS

Our recent studies on light-controlled C-terminal tail changes in the Drosophila cryptochrome circadian clock protein 🙌nature.com/articles/s4200… @CommsBio @CornellChem

Warm congratulations to Dr. Angela Picciano for a successful thesis defense!!🎉🍻

Check out our findings on the impact of proton transfer on tyrosyl radical activity in protein electron transfer! pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.102…

A hearty congrats to Connor Schneps and Rob Dunleavy for passing their candidacy exams. We're so proud of you both!

Excited to release our findings on the flagella hook protein FlgE and its self-catalytic lysinoalanine crosslink formation that is critical for cell motility! rdcu.be/bOyWg

Recent studies determined that a nitric oxide synthase in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus exhibits distinctly different behaviors than its bacterial counterparts and surprisingly shows nitric oxide oxygenase activity. jbc.org/content/294/27…

Characterization of a di-iron chemotaxis protein reveals a class of cytoplasmic chemoreceptors and may point to an ancient oxygen-repellent response in early anaerobes. pnas.org/content/early/…
