We were very happy to help, in a very small way, in getting this beautiful structure out. The structure is remarkably conserved considering the famous 28S ribosomal RNA split. I suspect that the split has as yet unknown biological repercussions in this remarkable animal..

We have a new preprint for you. Naked mole rats are very long-lived rodents and have increased translational fidelity. Interestingly, 28S ribosomal RNA is split. Here we investigated the structure of the ribosome by single particle cryo-EM. Take a look. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Group Leader in Biomedical Engineering at the @mdc-berlin.bsky.social in Berlin. It's a broad call for whoever is doing exciting Bioengineering, please apply or share. We have a great institute with amazing colleagues and core facilities,highly recommend application.mdc-berlin.de/site/index.p...

We have a preprint of a book chapter for you: Structural Analysis of Membrane Proteins in Cell-Derived Microvesicles. We describe how to image membrane proteins in mid-sized vesicles using cryo-electron tomography zenodo.org/records/1717...

I'd say it's a paper of the week if not a year Lithium deficiency and the onset of Alzheimer’s disease www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Postdoc program at the MDC in Berlin, @mdc-berlin.bsky.social : take a look 👇👇 For this call, collaborative projects between two groups will be funded. Take a look at the call and the groups and drop me an email if interested. Share with colleagues too! www.mdc-berlin.de/postdocs#t-g...

Building atomic models to cryo-EM maps of huge molecules is intimidating: crowded, uncertain copy numbers, variable resolution ... Fan Liu and team incl us, show how cross-linking MS can be used to build novel models of unknown complexes, like a giant Melbourne virus biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We have a preprint for you EHD2 forms rings on caveolae necks, in contrast to most EHDs forming helices. We determined its structure on membranes and show that N-term acts as a spacer By Elena, Vasya @vasiliimikirtumov.bsky.social, Jeff &Oli Daumke www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It's fellowship season in the EU. If you want to talk and join our group at the amazing MDC in Berlin on a fellowship, please write me an email. We do cryo-EM/ET, membrane proteins, data science/AI, our work: scholar.google.com/citations?so... Fellowships: Marie Curie, EMBO, HFSP, Humboldt...

Our contribution to Mohit Misra, Ivan Đikić, and Co's stellar research on how a pathogenic bacterium, Legionella pneumophila, hijacks host cell signaling It was a huge effort and took many years to combine all the data and methods, so enjoy reading👇 www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-6...

Hi Cryo-EM fellas! What are the pros and cons of the latest cryoFIB milling tools? Any usage experience with Arctis already? Any huge advantages of plasma?

A broad call for a PhD researcher/ postdoc in our group at the MDC in Berlin. An ideal PhD student - a computational scientist, a postdoc - a structural biologist, but feel free to re-convince me! We extended the deadline for after Easter, Apr 24th. Apply here www.mdc-berlin.de/career/jobs/...

Sooo, does anyone know the actual specs of the newly announced Thermo Fischer Krios G5? Marketing material is wonderful, but what does it actually do ? 😁

We are looking for a PhD student/Postdoc to develop methods of cryo-ET and/or study the structure and function of membrane proteins. Great team at the MDC in Berlin. It's a broad call, please apply and share! jobrxiv.org/job/max-delb...

English version of the documentary about power abuse in the Max Planck Society can be found here. 144.000 views already, more than 800 comments. Share it to make colleagues aware of what happens in German academia & the MPG! #IchBinHanna #PowerAbuse

look at this, its a really amazing preprint from Jana @janakroll.bsky.social and Co!

Two (!!!) postdocs got Marie Curie fellowships to work in our group. Igor Silva who is already with us scored top 3% of the applications, amazing We need to increase funding nationally and at the EU level to attract more great scientists marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/news/msca-aw...

Take a look at my personal perspective on the past, present, and future of in situ structural biology with cryo-ET+ While initially skeptical about the genre, I found it fun to write and hopefully, you can enjoy my experiences and some thoughts. Nice weekend y'all www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Take a look at our recent work on the S-layer, a protective envelope on the surface of pathogenic Bacillus anthracis. Us and & Han Remaut's team used a cool combination of structural biology techniques to describe its structure in fine detail 🔬❄️🖥️🔮👇https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2415351121

Take a look at our paper from last week where we probed the Molecular Architecture of Synaptic Vesicles by cryo-ET and integrative structural analysis We found that V-ATPases interact with synaptophysin and describe some other molecules of this exciting organelle 🧠🔬❄️ www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Hello World! And my first follower 👇 😍🔬🧪
