Many thanks to the organisers of #MECH2MED2026 Emerging trends in disease biology: Mechanism to medicine. Department of Bioscience and Biotechnology, IIT Kharagpur. A great opportunity to showcase Adelaide University molecular biosciences on the world stage.

S7 ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ Adnan Sljoka Probing allostery with computational techniques e.g. GPCRs - NMR, Monte carlo simulations, conf dynamics, how allostery regulates dynamics. Dont forget buried waters!! ms timescales of motion... textbook - rigidity theory: Sublinear computation paradigm #lorneproteins2026

BioSAXS here too! Coflow autoloader is the primary measurement mode - sec-saxs and batch modes. 12/hour batch; 4/h sec HT batch mode - load, measure, wash. Everything scattering. Subtraxt buffer alone. Process as you acquire. Sec-saxs. Temp controlled. Sheath buffer flow to limit rad damage.

@ansto.bsky.social MX beamline workshop. Bottom lines - match your crystal size to your beamline! Dont shoot a moving target. Wait for the loop position to stabilise. Rasterize to find your xtals. You need training to use MX3! All pins in puck must be the same!!

The IUPAC Global Womens Breakfast 2026 ❤️💛💚💙💜 dawned in Lorne with our first gathering on 10th Feb, concluding with a morning tea on the 11th Feb, meaning we've celebrated across international date lines clear into the UNESCO International Day of Women and Girls in Science! That's commitment!! 💜💚🤍

Altering the energetic balance. Publish in Protein Science - we like to take really nerdy papers where the length of a H-bond is critical!!

Session 8: The Protein Society Special Lecture - John Kuriyan - Adaptive Capacity of a DNA Polymerase Clamp Loader. Measuring mutagenesis at scale in T4 bacteriophage. T4 del replication machinery. Infects cells, but nothing happens + plasmids with library of replication gene variants...
