Excited to share our latest publication in ACS Chemical Biology!

We used cryo-EM and biochemical probing to reveal how the 10–23 DNAzyme folds. These findings provide new insight into one of the most widely studied catalytic DNAs.

Excited to be a co-PI on this WVU-wide NSF grant! It will help us attract and support some of the nation’s most talented researchers to WV. Let’s go!

Excited to share our new publication in Biochemistry!
We demonstrate how group II intron-encoded proteins can be site-specifically labeled with fluorescent dyes, creating a versatile system to probe ribonucleoprotein assembly and function.

Bassi et al. describe a method for the covalent modification of nucleobases within ssDNA, dsDNA, and structured RNA, allowing fluorescent labeling while preserving biochemical function. https://t.co/a4eP8P97gJ

Evan's new paper about the structure of the 10-23 DNAzyme (catalytic DNA) is published online in the Nature family journal Communications Chemistry! Links to the open access paper and a short "behind the paper" story piece are here too

Congratulations to Claire Smather's in Dr. Robart's lab! She won the University Relations Scientific Journalism Scholarship, for her work on scientific journalism.

[WVUBiochemistry @WVUBiochemistry]

The Department of Biochemistry is expanding its faculty at the Assistant or Associate Professor rank (tenure-track). The department is seeking to recruit an investigator with an exciting research program focused on fundamental biological mechanisms. https://t.co/t3n2RjHvGn

Check out Claire's first blog post about women in science. This is such an important topic, and I'm very proud of her initiative to take this on.@WVUBiochemistry @wvuresearchgrad https://t.co/s29nyGN6Ru

[Robart Lab @LabRobart]

Nice shout out to all the excellent work Claire has been doing in scientific journalism. Way to go!https://t.co/AUreT94iYj

Today 1pm EST one of our students will be presenting her research, at a level appropriate for a non-scientist.
Public distrust of science is at an all-time high. Let's counter this with public engagement about research put in clear and simple terms!
