New paper alert! We used optical tweezers to resolve heterogenous folding/unfolding pathways of repeat expanded huntingtin mRNA, revealing how hairpin slippage can seed inter-strand base pairing and promote aggregation. Congrats @NothinBut_Brett! 👏👏 https://t.co/BrpwY4dUFk

BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

@agzestos @GUChemistry Thanks for invitation, Alex. It was a real pleasure to give the seminar and meet AU students.

[Alexander Zestos @agzestos]

Many thanks to Prof. Rodrigo Maillard @LabMaillard @GUChemistry for a great seminar on using single molecule methods to study allostery in protein kinases at our seminar series.

Starting the semester strong with a hike with my graduate students at Great Falls, VA! It doesn't hurt, also, that BSF (@usisraelbsf) is funding our project on PKA RIbeta in collaboration with the Ilouz lab @RIlouz

[Maillard Lab @LabMaillard]

@RIlouz We are also thrilled that we are moving forward with this exciting project with the support of BSF!

Congratulations to Dr. Ronit Ilouz from our Faculty for winning a research grant from the U.S.-Israel Binational Science Foundation (BSF).

The laboratory led by Dr. Ronit Ilouz investigates mechanisms for the formation of a unique inherited neurodegenerative disease, and gave it the name: NLPD-PKA. The disease develops in patients with a specific genetic mutation in the protein, which leads to the formation of protein clusters in the brain, similar to other neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

The grant is in collaboration with Dr. Rodrigo Maillard from Georgetown University in the USA. The two laboratories will combine knowledge and focus on the cellular and molecular effects of the mutation on the brain, while discovering the mechanisms leading to the disease, with the aim of developing innovative and useful solutions, offering a tremendous advantage in promoting promising and applied research directions.

@dixitvishva Super cool, and be careful!
