@KonstantinBikb2 @JamesBirrell86 @desy It looks like Ray likes hydrogenases 🤩

[MM @MariaAleMartini]

@thecopperdoctor @SamanthaJFirth Woohoo! Congratulations Dr Firth @SamanthaJFirth and Dr Michaels!!! 🥳

[Kushal Sengupta @ksg_chem]

We had a great turnout (1000+) of people from different ages, different interests in ur Open Day yesterday. Thanks everyone for making it a big success. Few pics from our BioLabs demonstration/presentations.

Excited to see this work out in @JACS_Au! @METALSBBSRCNIBB

This latest Chem Sci paper from Maria Alessandra Martini, James A. Birrell, Patricia Rodríguez-Maciá and colleagues highlights how the binding of exogenous cyanide can be used to determine new active sites [FeFe] hydrogenases.

This beautiful [FeFe] hydrogenase structure is the focus of a recent Chemical Science publication which you can read, free, here:

https://t.co/Nzwl54vBL1

This is the first spectroscopy and computational characterisation of exogenous CN− interacting with [FeFe] hydrogenases.

A short update on the German buzz around #WissZeitVG reform

the reform draft has been cancelled by @sabinedoering (state secretary @BMBF_Bund) for the time being

the weekend has shown why #AcademicTwitter remains essential for organizing and lobbying

@MariaDrosou9 @maxplanckpress @AvHStiftung Congratulations Maria!! 🥳

[Patricia Rodriguez Macia @_PatriRM]

Very happy to share our new paper on the binding of exogenous cyanide to [FeFe] hydrogenases! Check it out 👉👉 Huge thanks to all the team involved @JamesBirrell86 @MariaAleMartini @SpanLabFAU @RagnarBj @KonstantinBikb2 @mpicec_press (1/4) https://t.co/6SQSgF92um

[Peter Chivers @ptchivers]

Now recruiting a post-doctoral research associate to work on metalloprotein interactions at Durham University (UK). Prior experience in biophysical studies of metalloproteins is desirable.

Current and past MPI-CEC ⁦@mpicec_press⁩ members at ⁦@eurobic16⁩ Gala Dinner! Always a pleasure to see you all!

[James Birrell @JamesBirrell86]

Out in @J_A_C_S now! We show that oxidation products of dithionite inhibit [FeFe] hydrogenases, which has led to incorrect assignment of catalytic intermediates. This should act as a warning when using dithionite as a reductant in metalloenzyme research. https://t.co/fvPVYhgp6C

[James Birrell @JamesBirrell86]

Out now in Coord Chem Rev: "The Catalytic Cycle of [FeFe] Hydrogenase: A Tale of Two Sites". Wolfgang Lubitz, Edward Reijerse, Maria Martini, @_PatriRM and I review development of models of the catalytic cycle of FeFe H2ase and discuss future directions.

My first @NatureCatalysis paper 😊https://t.co/dCgJ2sLw0s Glad I could help @NicolasPlumere @VincentFourmond @SECLab_MPI_CEC with this excellent work. H2ase keeps its reversibility in a redox polymer allowing it to go both ways, oxidising & producing H2 with low overpotential.

[Tessa Young @TRYbioscience]

It was a pleasure to collaborate with my former PhD advisor Zhiguang Xiao on this review article about how to determine metal-binding affinities of proteins, just out in Biochemical Journal: https://t.co/ktygMbxgAf @METALSBBSRCNIBB @DurBiol @Royalcom1851

[MM @MariaAleMartini]

Happy to be part of this brilliant work, out now in @NatureComms.
Our metalation calculator reveals how inside cells CobW acquires cobalt for vitamin B12 biosynthesis, while other G3E GTPases bind zinc.
Congrats @TRYbioscience and the team @DurBiol

@thecopperdoctor @LouisaJStewart1 @mbiojournal @blacksciblog Congratulations Karrera, Louisa & the team!! 🥳🎉
I read (and enjoyed!) the preprint and I look forward to reading the updated paper at the weekend!
