Our new paper is out @NatureComms🎉Mushrooms are a good source of #VitaminB2, but did you know some bacteria produce the same nutrient in #protein 'cages'? Our #CryoEM study reveals their elegant mechanism of enzyme #compartmentalization. @MCB_UJ

A new study from the Glatt Lab @MCB_UJ shows that the rare tRNA modification queuosine is added before RNA splicing — not after! 🧬

Finally out🎉 We've established a robust and customizable system for otherwise troublesome #RecombinantProtein production. Our #ProteinCage-based method can be a game-changer for your lab work. Check it out>> https://t.co/qLg9xu0JOJ #SyntheticBiology #PeptideTherapeutics @MCB_UJ

4 days of intensive scientific discussion, supplemented with good food and wine, at a beautiful coast-side village in Cataluna. #EMBOPhysicalVirology @EMBOevents @EMBO @FEBSnews

@GrudnikPgrudnik @NCN_PL @JagiellonskiUni Congratulations!!

[Alena Khmelinskaia @khmelinskaia]

Now online and just in time for WRCon! It was a great journey with a fantastic team across boarders that survived several moves. A big thank you to all involved, and a special shoutout to Neil @KingLabIPD and the @akhmelinlab 🧵 to come…

.@KoziejLukasz et al @GroupAzuma @MCB_UJ show how a pentameric protein can controllably assemble into #nonquasiequivalent, hollow spherical and cylindrical #proteincages with defined #geometries

Are you disappointed or frustrated by seeing your #recombinantproteins are truncated or degraded? Here, we have a solution. Encapsidic protein production is now available @biorxiv_bioeng.

thrilled to share the molecular mechanism and the geometrical theory underlying the dynamic, polymorphic assembly of pentamer-based #proteincages and #proteinnanotubes, now published in @acsnano. @MCB_UJ @UniOfYork @CPBM_heddlelab https://t.co/OBDRrQvbrY

#newpaper
Excited to share our latest paper in collaboration with @CPBM_heddlelab : engineered protein cages that self-assemble with metal ions and disassemble on demand with triggers like pH changes. Perfect for advanced drug delivery and biomedical innovation. 🚀🧬 Congrats!

Finally!! Here, we show how pentameric proteins dynamically and controllably assemble into diverse hollow structures, including unique #nanotubes. #cryoEM #nonquasiequivalent #proteincage #bionanotechnology @MCB https://t.co/kvGurinMVt
