Check out our latest preprint with @Chica_lab where we demonstrate the creation of highly active artificial enzymes by incorporating experimental crystallographic data into the design strategy...

[Roberto Chica Lab @Chica_lab]

Happy to share our latest preprint, in collaboration with @MThompsonLab.

Design of efficient artificial enzymes using crystallographically-enhanced conformational sampling https://t.co/Eif6axMjlI

@FindlaterGroup That's why we have robes

[Michael Findlater @FindlaterGroup]

They were all so so good! #GradSlam

I am so excited to share that I will be starting a lab in January 2024 as an Assistant Professor at @OHSUSOM in Portland! I am building my team, so if you are interested in cellular cryoelectron tomography, computational structural biology, and working in PDX, hit me up!

@Dr_JeremyGBird seems like dirty glassware

Excellent news - Wenyan Guan (Patricia LiWang Lab @ucmerced) won the poster competition at the Biophysical Society Annual Meeting (2/19/2023) for chemokine research. We are very happy for her achievement. Congratulations!

Going to #bps2023? Would love to catch up between sessions or in one of the poster sessions. Here's what's coming from our lab:

@FengYu_Bio is presenting his newest preprint at the IDP I platform, Sunday 9:00 AM in Rm. 6C

@amtcastle @dgonzales1990 We really like to select the best, so I ask them to do it in 12

[Pythia Labs @PythiaLabs]

🙌 Thank you @MikeThompson and the @ThompsonLab for inviting @JulienJorda to present Pythia's use of #AI to design AB Initio Protein Binders at the CBC Seminars @ucmerced. In case you missed it, here are some pictures of him in action!

[Chan Zuckerberg Initiative @ChanZuckerberg]

What is mentorship to structural biologist @stevendamolab1?

“A collaborative partnership with goals for both the mentee + the mentor.” 🫱🏿‍🫲🏾🫱🏼‍🫲🏾#NationalMentoringMonth

@ClementYChow except it worked

[Jack Greisman @JackGreisman]

Here we present a method that can scale and merge data from different types of diffraction experiments -- monochromatic, polychromatic, XFEL, and more! Give it a try! Check out the examples: https://t.co/1Hsa01Zt7y

Look how many University of #California #NobelLaureates I was able to gather in just 2 minutes. A great public university and a national treasure @UC_Berkeley @UCLA. #NobelWeek

[UC Merced Chemistry @UCMChemistry]

The Thompson Lab (@MThompsonLab) studies protein structure and function using X-ray crystallography. They develop new methods with a collaborative approach to science. Projects include protein design, drug discovery, and temp sensing. They're hiring! https://t.co/tXfiaypQIG

@FindlaterGroup This is awesome! Who did the artwork?
