So this is my #3dprinted poster, you can actually play with it @LorneProteins @VictorChangInst #lorneproteins #3Dprinting

How does the hERG channel inactivate so rapidly. Our latest paper on the #CryoEM structure of an inactivated hERG channel is out now in

Beautiful hERG structures from the @VandenbergJamie lab and simulations from Toby Allen’s lab @RMIT reveal the structural basis of hERG’s fast inactivation. A labour of love of my good friend Mark Hunter and the great @CarusL for many years- enjoy!! https://t.co/5zIZqcn6OW

@DTegunov @nikkiccccc @LKGGlass Yep Portrait. Can’t afford the 4K. Also the Portrait could be easier to run?

Building a protein model on the @LKGGlass Now I can see how the side chains interact in 3D! Still need some tweaking to make it more usable but looking good

[𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒖𝒔 𝑳𝒂𝒖 @CarusL]

This is fun. @LKGGlass portrait looking good out of the box with @UCSFChimeraX Will be more fun if I have the @ultraleap controller

In today's #PaulKornerSeminar, our scientist presenter @CarusL dissects the inner workings of a cardiac ion channel using #CryoEm.

To improve resolution we used a ligand to induce conformational change stabilizing the flexible domains 😂

Tidying up files in computer and found this gif I made trying to explain problem with heterogeneous/dynamic protein in #CryoEM 🤣

#PaulKornerSeminar speaker @CarusL : "Proteins are three-dimensional objects. We use #3DPrinting to fabricate protein models which we can interact with using our hands and let us better understand their structure and function.”

Any lab want to hire a "food illustrator" if I don't get funded after the pandemic?

@bengeliscious @Astbury_BSL @caruslau The 626 is my favourite

[𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒖𝒔 𝑳𝒂𝒖 @CarusL]

@Astbury_BSL @caruslau Probably because my grid clipping skills are not as good as @PS_cryoEM 🤣 got a bit rusty during the lockdown
