Bluetorial: Light and Life: The incredible life of Lubert Stryer I described my involvement with Lubert Stryer and how it led to one of the great opportunities of my life, taking over his textbook. Today, I detail his truly incredible life story.

Four days left for our open position for a postdoc in beautiful Aarhus/Denmark👇👇. If you are interested in structural biology and membrane protein transport⭐ I hope you apply. A fantastic group. Here seen in the wild at our last lab retreat😊😊

Great news🥳. We just got a 1-year SARU fellowship to support a postdoc in the group. 🙏Thanks to Scholars at Risk - Denmark Section.🇩🇰🇺🇦 the SARU fellowship is also supported by Novo Nordisk Fonden, Villum Fonden, and @carlsbergfondet.dk

Do you need a starting pack of researcher working on intrinsically disordered proteins? Well, you might head over to @idpseminars.bsky.social and hit followers. Tw***** was important for the birth of IDPseminars and for spreading the word. It would be cool to re-kindle that community here.

If you like crystallography💎 (who doesn't) and the bitter-sweet pain of hard-to-work-with-ligands😭, then check out our latest publication,👇 “Structural and biochemical analysis of ligand binding in yeast Niemann–Pick type C1–related protein” 1/

Is basic science undervalued? David Glanzman (UCLA) talks about the decline of 'middle class' labs and that "there is no empirical evidence that the translational approach accomplishes this [cures] any better than the traditional one. Claims to the contrary at this point are mere propaganda."

Huge Congratulations 🥳 to Lynette Nel who just successfully defended her PhD. Amazing effort 🌟with great papers as the outcome working on the sterol NPC system. Very proud supervisor! 🤩😄🥂 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38568972/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39455279/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34897668/

Okay I've whipped up a preliminary starter pack for crystals and crystallography. Still in the process of searching and adding, please repost and let me know who else in the world of crystals is on bsky! go.bsky.app/Cpx2Ppu

Waves of new BlueSky arrivals in last few days! I’ve been tracking starter packs relevant to molecular/mechanistic/genetic/cellular…etc biology Hope it’s helpful but warning: now a v long thread! Probably the last time I can do this...

Promotion finalized (with permanent marker) 😂🥳

Lunch with the group. Saying goodbye to proof David Stokes that has been visit us for the last month. Doing assays and solving structures🧑‍🔬🔬🧫 and justing enjoying sharing science.

😁Finally out in @PNASNews.😁 Our paper on sterol transport to the lysosomal/vacuolar membrane by NPC proteins: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... Amazing team effort by shared first authors Kelly, Emil and Lynette. This was 4+ years underway. Tons of data and analysis!

Jeg har skrevet en kronik om planter🌱, stråling☢️ og atomkrig💣 i Weekendavisen.👇 "Planter kan overleve det meste. Selv atomkrig, radioaktiv stråling og kræft." (Og også lidt om plantehormoner og deres vigtige funktion 🪴🌱🌻🌳🌾🌽🍎) Læs den her: www.weekendavisen.dk/2024-13/idee...

Very happy to announce that I have been promoted to full professor in membrane protein biophysics☺️🥳🍾👇 tinyurl.com/pbbxd2kr

Our review is out in Annual Review of Plant Biology. with @uhammes.bsky.social 😀 www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Interesting text on the state of neuroscience www.theintrinsicperspective.com/p/neuroscien...

The boys and I figured we’d ask ChatGPT to help us solve a clue from the Times crossword.

wwPDB anticipates that all the four character PDB accession codes (PDB ID) will be consumed by 2029. Resources for Supporting the Extended PDB ID Format (pdb_00001abc) are available at wwPDB.org: www.wwpdb.org/docume...

By now it’s clear that alphafold models don’t always work for e.g., small molecule docking. In one study, no difference was observed between success w/ docking into pockets of DL-generated models and those of homology models, despite major improvements in RMSD of the former. doi.org/10.7554/elif...

CASP16 will start later this year, so to celebrate that here is a short thread on the uncanny valley separating experimental structures & computational models of proteins. Even though the latter are extremely accurate, there are still some weird differences that are hard to pin down.  🧪🧶🧬🧵

Getting tired of waiting for .gifs even if I like it more here. Let's campaign to make .gifs and/or movies available here before we all move somewhere else or nowhere. So, if you want to have in line .GIFs in @bsky.app please repost ! Meanwhile some brain #SciArt #BrainBow 🧪🔬 #SciComm #bskyscience

Project Description: was "-17.587 characters left" now "334 characters left" I have soo many options open now!😂

Published now in the final version. @bjornppedersen.bsky.social, Jürgen Kleine-Vehn and yours truly wrote a little something abozt IAA Transport across the ER membrane- and if different PIN topologies (if they in fact exist) actually matter. doi.org/10.1093/jxb/...
