First full day of the #GRC #Collagen, obviously can't share anything, but there were already amazing talks!

This sounds really interesting! Eager to test it with some structures we have lying around. 👍

Okay, it's officially summer in Cologne, when I have to move our CryoEM machine from my office to an air conditioned room... ☀️(In Winter I am using it's heat for saving a little on heaters)

Do we really age in bursts like that recent study suggests? @drjenndowd.bsky.social yet again provides a terrific overview and explainer of that study. 🛟🧪 medsky 😷demography sociology

There is an #science feed and #ML in structural biology feed, but is there an protein #crystallography feed? And if not would we need one 🤔

Congratulations to this year’s winner of the Young Investigator Award: Kristina Bubb from Cologne! @nystromlab.bsky.social

I added support for Boltz1 so we can calculate ipSAE and other scores for pairwise protein-protein interactions on AF2, AF3, and Boltz1 models. Will add nucleic acids eventually. github.com/DunbrackLab/...

Get your data out now! 🚀 BMC has a special edition on “The Extracellular Matrix,” and I’m honoured to guest edit. We’re accepting manuscripts on all aspects of ECM, but if you know my background, you’ll know I’m especially excited about structural data and collagens 😉. [1/2]

A worrying talk about the (planned) deregulation of synthetic biology by the EU commision (and worldwide) from Margret Engelhard (from BfN ) at the #38C3. I am working with GMOs daily, but IN the lab and I am not a fan of releasing them ... media.ccc.de/v/38c3-let-s...

Just heard a talk about #AquaCloning , sounds more like magical cloning. Mostly, Gibson without ANY enzymes. Has anyone tried it in realilty? How good does it work? #Genetics #MolecularBiology journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

We have an annual window decoration competition in our biochemical institute. This is our contribution - I think it represents our group very nicely. #StructuralBiology #XMAS #XRAY #CryoEM

We are thinking of reorganising our #MX Master course to integrate a bigger variety of #structuralbiology. Namely #crystallography, #modelling and #NMR (our CryoEM guys still want to do their own thing 😉).

Christmas is getting closer, and even our crystals are getting into the festive spirit! 😉 #ProteinCrystallography
