#ncRNA molecules are stranger than you think. We propose that OLE RNA is bacteria's functional mimic of
#mTOR. The Das lab at Stanford proposes OLE RNA penetrates cell membranes! They also find that RNAs we called ROOL and GOLLD form 8-membered nanocages. https://t.co/DQ7Zr5p6DT
Wow 365 million domains identified. Really amazing push forward for Structural biology. and a wonderful new resource. Today in Science: https://t.co/O6p2jf0RGv
Happy to share our little discovery with @SimoneMattei19 team on how ribosomes hibernate upside down on mitochondria during cellular stress is now out @NatureComms! A collaboration between @medicineUVA, @EMBL, @EmblImaging, MEMC. Congrats to all authors! https://t.co/DE6eAamt5I
Excited to share our latest preprint @gonenlab@ScienceMick, where we demonstrate how an energy filter can significantly enhance macromolecular MicroED data quality - showing diffraction spots extending to ~1 Å resolution from proteinase K xtals: https://t.co/tIdonJWaOY
#cryoEM with energy filter & electron counting significantly increased resolution even for a full size protein like proteinase K. Sub-atomic resolution #MicroED rivals best reported Xray of Proteinase K but by using crystals a billionth the size. A section of the map is shown
Shoutout to former/current @ChookLab members - Ertugrul Cansizoglu for starting the work and taming Msn5, Takuya Yosizawa for getting over the big barrier of phosphorylating Pho4, and the amazing Joyce Fung for putting it together and showing how it works!

This is an elegant study showing the differences in structures of hemoglobin in humans and crocodiles which explains why crocs can stay long under water. Very cool 🐊🐊🐊

A checkpoint function for Nup98 in nuclear pore formation, elucidated with nanobodies. Congratulations to the entire team @mpi_nat@GunkelPhilip@pleinerlab !
A nanobody toolkit for tracking or blocking nuclear pore complex (NPC) biogenesis identifies a checkpoint linking assembly of the NPC scaffold to formation of the Np98-dominated permeability barrier

It's #NationalPigDay! This little character is Cavia porcellus, or the Guinea Pig (though neither from Guinea nor closely related to pigs). For a Friday brain-teaser, could you guess what other creature this rodent is standing next to? We'll reveal the answer this afternoon!
After a long journey, I am thrilled to announce that our collaborative paper is finally out in @NatureChemistry ! Can cryo-EM capture the metastable ADP.Pi state, where ATP is hydrolyzed but ADP and the cleaved Pi ion still remain in the nucleotide pocket?https://t.co/OmhAkIAGGe
Come and join us as Cryo-Correlative Workflow Specialist & Microscopist (at Senior Scientific Officer level, with permanent contract) @ICR_London, to help build in-situ structural biology. #CryoEM#CryoET Details here: https://t.co/ZtsRMFuFli
