Just spent wonderful time at #GRS#GRC bacterial cell surfaces. Met a lot of amazing people! Everything is just so perfect! See you all at the next one.
Thrilled to share that I will be joining the @UWMadison@UWBiochem this fall! The lab will focus on protein-protein interactions & structural dynamics at the host-pathogen interface🦠!

Very excited to share our recent discovery of a novel taurine metabolism pathway! We identified the orphan enzyme PTER as the predominant taurine N-acetyltransferase/hydrolase that regulates energy balance @longlabstanford

Dr. Laura Dassama (@lmkdassama), assistant professor @Stanford, focuses on molecular recognition mechanisms of multi-drug transporters in drug resistance, repurposing of natural products, and control of transcription factors relevant to sickle cell disease.

Check out my first first-author paper! Lipid-binding proteins are important but hard to identify due to the lack of conserved motifs. With the advance of AlphaFold and machine learning, we developed SLiPP to predict lipid-binding proteins from proteomes! https://t.co/gNwOdytrPD
@unreal_dave Unfortunately, the current version of SLiPP could not tell apart different lipid classes. However, it is definitely one of the directions we’re moving forward!
Shout out to the team @caseymdecosto , Poulami Chatterjee for all the discussion and suggestions. Thank you @lmkdassama for all the support and mentoring!
Honored to have the chance to talk about my work on SLiPP today at @Stanford_ChEMH research in progress seminar. Hopefully we will have our manuscript on biorxiv soon. Stay tuned if you are working with lipids and proteins!
