Thanks Chris @LMCB_UCL and @CovinoLab for this nice spotlight! It really sums up well what we did and why we did it! And a big shoutout to @sriraksha616, the (great) mind behind it!

[Journal of Cell Biology @JCellBiol]

Spotlight: Stefan @LMCB_UCL and @CovinoLab @goetheuni highlight a useful strategy by Srinivasan et al. @LabVanni (https://t.co/rxbgrBHWNR) to predict #lipid-binding pockets in lipid transfer proteins. https://t.co/jBC6lz1vsk

@JCIM_JCTC @biocolloids @unifrChemistry @NCCRbioinspired @biorxiv @James_Saenz To make a long story short, we found that RNA order, mostly driven by H-bonds and low conformational entropy, promotes its adsorption to ordered membranes, via the matching of the membrane periodicity to that of RNA. As we are quite new on this, feedback is appreciated! (6/6)

Happy to share a few good #Openscience updates from the lab on a Friday afternoon! (1/6)

@JCIM_JCTC @biocolloids @unifrChemistry @NCCRbioinspired @biorxiv Here, motivated by the recent wonderful work by @James_Saenz and others, we tried to understand what makes certain RNA love gel-phase zwitterionic PC #lipidtime bilayers… (5/6)
