🔬 Paula Booth – Anfinsen Award Congrats to Paula Booth (King’s College London), 2026 Christian B. Anfinsen Award winner! A pioneer in membrane protein folding and kinetics, her work has shaped the field for over 30 years. #ProteinScience #PS40

Exciting PhD positions at King’s, Leeds, and NPL are now available through the new UKRI:BBSRC Engineering Biology for Biomedicine (#EB4BM) centre for doctoral training. 🗓️ Apply by 9 March Details of our project here: eb4bm.org/project/engi... #PhD #SyntheticBiology #EngineeringBiology

Pleased to share the final version of this behemoth of a paper, now finally published. I guess I can retire now? www.nature.com/articles/s41... More functional data, many thousands of words removed, and a few other updates from last year's preprint.

King’s spinout Nuclide Therapeutics is pioneering a new radioactive treatment targeting cancers that resist chemo and radiotherapy. A £5m investment will now fund its first clinical trial in lung cancer patients. www.kcl.ac.uk/news/kings-s... #WorldCancerDay

How does molecular valency shape condensate assembly and function? We used the CO2-fixing organelle in algae—the pyrenoid—to find out… 🧵 Preprint here!: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... @cellarchlab.com @phaips.vd.st @biologyatyork.bsky.social #Rubisco #PhaseSeparation #Condensates #Pyrenoid

What #chemistry is needed for life to begin? And what signs of life should we be looking for in the #universe to learn if we are alone? 🪐 Dr Saidul Islam, from @kingsnmes.bsky.social discusses the habitability of planets with @bbcradio4.bsky.social #InOurTime. 👇 www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

A look at just how disordered a disordered protein-protein pair can get. Do they even care about stereochemistry any more?
