Thrilled to announce my first PhD publication in Nature Comms! We determined structures of the Tad pilus ATPase CpaF from Caulobacter. We use these structures to propose how CpaF employs a rotary mechanism of catalysis to drive Tad pilus assembly. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Now published J. Med. Chem! @zestytoast.bsky.social's structure of type II NADH dehydrogenase from mycobacteria. A promising drug target for TB & other mycobacterial infections, Yingke demonstrates how an inhibitor can block transfer of electrons from NADH to the ETC. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Most protein complexes are born only once. V-ATPase assembles over and over as part of its regulatory mechanism, enabled by RAVE (regulator of ATPase of vacuoles and endosomes) @hanlinw222.bsky.social's 1st struct of RAVE bound to a partial V1 complex now out in PNAS. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
