#ResearchHighlightSeries🔬🧪📑
Dr. Jeetender Chugh's group from the #ChemistryDept at #IISERPune studied how protein structure determines function in their recent paper in the Journal of American Chemical Society @J_A_C_S

Using advanced NMR techniques, their work provides insights into the function of an RNA-binding protein implicated in neurodegenerative diseases.

Extremely happy to share that our first work on protein-templated metal nanoclusters has now been published in Angewandte Chemie: https://t.co/nw9iMJ1hG5.
Congratulations to all the students involved for their patience in starting and successfully completing something new.
