Today in @PNASNews, the first genetically encoded fluorescent sensor for #manganese! My student Jen Park @bioJenP re-engineered the EF hands of lanmodulin to selectively respond to Mn(II) and used the resulting sensors to study Mn dynamics in bacteria. https://t.co/yG7w2B7q0V
It was a long haul for David Eap working with some finicky proteins, but his excellent PhD work was just published in @J_A_C_S! Check out our characterization of a novel Fe-S cluster binding metallothionein from the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. https://t.co/SPIKo75rFZ
Please join me and @bioJenP this year at the 2025 Gordon Research Seminar: Cell Biology of Metals in Portland, ME 🔬🧫 (and the associated GRC of course! @erinlconnolly1 and Tom Bartnikas) with our Keynote Speaker @OFisherLab
And why not…vote for your fav transition metal!
Just out @PNASNews, we characterize a new type of lanthanides-binding protein (a Ln chaperone) and engineer it for separations! Great work by Wyatt Larrinaga and Jonathan Jung, w/ my colleague Amie Boal! https://t.co/xGmCf9Hvuz @psu_chemistry@PSUScience
