A good end to 2025: rhodamine-binders for bioimaging in JACS: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

🚨Excited to share this collaborative work with Ming-Ming. 🎉Check it out!▶️https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2025.12.05.692539v1

🎉🌟Big news! Our Director @kjohnsson.bsky.social has received an @erc.europa.eu Synergy Grant, together with teams from EPFL @sulianamanley.bsky.social and @unibe.ch! 👏They’ll explore how mitochondria communicate with other cell parts🔬 #ERCSyG #maxplanck #mpimr #science www.mr.mpg.de/14662972/erc...

😎 Back from our #scientificretreat 2025 in Neckarsulm, full of scientific exchange and #teamspirit! 🤩🌟One highlight was the tour of the Bildungscampus in Heilbronn, where two new departments of our institute will be established, and the Innovation Park for #AI #IPAI 🚀 #maxplanck #mpimr #letsmingle

Recently I learnt that EMBL-EBI has a free online course about AlphaFold — how it works, strengths and limitations, how to use it — and it's very good! There are also little quizzes and interactives. www.ebi.ac.uk/training/onl...

#glycotime Legionella effector LtpM is found to recognize strict two-residue sequons for site-specific O-glucosylation with minimal perturbations to a target protein and is used to show that O-glucose can act as a constitutively active O-GlcNAc mimic www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Finally out in Nature Chem Bio: SNAP-tag2 for faster and brighter protein labeling www.nature.com/articles/s41... Thank you Steffi and Veselin.
