Josef Zwanziger, @aaronrossini.bsky.social, and I published a rebuttal of a recent Nature Commun. paper claiming that enantiomers produce large differences in J coupling constants. doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Very nice article from @lek-lab.bsky.social including @roesslph.bsky.social, A. Sever and R. Ahmed, enjoyed reading it! #NMR

Fantastic opportunity to work on exciting projects with a great team @etzkornlab.bsky.social!

Our work on DNA G4 interactions with Zuo1 in collaboration with @paeschkelab.bsky.social and the Penedo lab is out in @narjournal.bsky.social 😍 Full text: academic.oup.com/nar/article/... #G4 #G-Quadruplex #NMR #smFRET #ChIP-qPCR

📢 Open Call! The Max Perutz Labs invite applications for a Full Professorship in Integrative Structure Biology with a focus on in situ structural biology using cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) and related methods. More details ➡️ tinyurl.com/brswbymu

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

Darja combines organic-chemistry synthesis (with our great collaborator Roman Lichtenecker) of specifically isotope-labeled amino acids with protein NMR in solution and solids. 👉 Synthesis and proof of principle is here: chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... 2/n

Really interesting to see some basic science research coming out of Apple Inc. SimpleFold: Folding Proteins is Simpler than You Think arxiv.org/abs/2509.184... tldr: Apple used flow matching models to more efficiently predict protein folding structures. More of this, please... from ALL big tech.

Congratulations to the Behrmann and Schwarz labs at Institute of Biochemistry @chemunicologne.bsky.social for this fantastic work! 🎉 #StructuralBiology in Cologne is on fire 💥

I enjoyed the talk by Harald Schwalbe @schwalbe-lab.bsky.social very much, especially the #NMR work on #RNA structure and dynamics! #FGMR #GDCh

Postdoctoral position in viral protein NMR, Prof Anja Böckmann, The protein solid-state NMR laboratory within the Molecular Microbiology and Structural Biochemistry (MMSB) unit in the Lyon Gerland Bioscience Campus mmsb.cnrs.fr/en/ emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/U... #NMRjobs #NMRchat 🧲

Very nice work by the Wöhnert group, determining an intersting RNA structure using #NMR!

Exciting work from Duchardt-Ferner et al. in NAR: high-res. NMR structure of a tobramycin-responsive riboswitch. Shows a novel aminoglycoside-binding RNA motif with unique RNA-RNA contacts, explaining its exceptional switching efficiency in eukaryotic translation. academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

New publication: Arginine dynamics probed by magic-angle spinning NMR with a specific isotope-labeling scheme Our selective arginine labeling yields well-resolved 1H-detected spectra in solids (and solution). We apply it to study dynamics in crystalline ubiquitin and a >130 kDa large enzyme 1/2

Very interesting #NMR work on disordered proteins by the lab of @millessigrid.bsky.social at @fmp-berlin.de! Enjoyed reading it, congrats to this study!

📣 Massively proud of this ⬇️ great study, led by the brilliant @mesny.bsky.social surprisingly uncovering that many pathogen effectors stem from ancient antimicrobials 🤯 #EffectorWisdom #EvoMPMI

I‘m already looking forward to join this very interesting #NMR symposium and to meet friends from the good old times at @fmp-berlin.de! It’s still time to register!

Such a beautiful cover for @jacs.acspublications.org designed by @barthvanrossum.bsky.social! Nice #NMR work by the Lange lab at @fmp-berlin.de!

Great work involving #NMR by @delvallelab.bsky.social in @jacs.acspublications.org on intrastrand side chain stapling of peptides, very interesting read! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

The complexity of new functionalities enabled by thousands of non-canonical open reading frames potentially coding for miniproteins is just fascinating! I can see a lot of interesting #NMR studies on structure and function of #peptides www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Great news for all students @unicologne.bsky.social interested in #structuralbiology, in particular @chemunicologne.bsky.social and at the Department of Biology: We are very honoured to receive funding through the 2025 #Fulbright-Cottrell Award!

I really like the open community reviewing process at MR, the journal of @group-ampere.bsky.social Having community comments and reviews online and open for discussion is a nice way of doing open constructive reviews Our latest one, on a broad topic awaits comments mr.copernicus.org/preprints/mr...

Hello Bluesky! We are the NMR research group @chemunicologne.bsky.social @unicologne.bsky.social and we are interested in studying biomolecular function by #NMR. Follow us for news about our #research and #teaching! ⠀ #sciencesky #biochemistry #structuralbiology
