Thrilled to share our story of "lemon-shaped" virus SMV1 published at @CellCellPress
This is the first atomic structure of an archaeal lemon-shaped virus. Great collaboration with Virginija and @mkrupovic as always! (1/6)

#CASP16 thoughts on protein monomers and oligomers prediction.

[Rui Zhang @RuiZhangWUSTL]

Another wonderful collaboration with
@alanbrownhms lab. The Zhang lab together with @PolinaLishko lab (co-first author
@QingweiN) contribute the doublet microtubule structure from Crithidia fasciculata, a model organism that infects mosquitoes.

Our study on how the human MCM2-7 helicase is loaded onto replication origins 🧬 is now online @Nature! 🎉

Our findings reveal that unlike in yeast, human MCM loading does not require ORC6 and can occur through multiple pathways.

🚨 We've updated the glycan structure database on @GlycoShape (https://t.co/p0Xkdiu9pG)! You can now search through and rebuild glycoproteins with 453 unique glycans 🥳

Glycans are now primarily listed by their GlyTouCan IDs @glytoucan @kiyokof 🎉

The missing piece in the bacterial #ESCRT-III story.. #Vipp1 forms dynamic spiral filaments on membrane! Spirals are springs that drive 3D ring formation in the spiral centre! 😎😵‍💫 Wonderful collaboration with @Colom_D @RouxLab… 1/2

Thrilled to announce AlphaFold 3 which can predict the structures and interactions of nearly all of life’s molecules with state-of-the-art accuracy including proteins, DNA and RNA. Biology is a complex dynamical system so modeling interactions is crucial https://t.co/Gs4GoOB3fD

🔬👩‍🔬 Exciting news! I'll soon start my lab @VAInstitute to research molecular mechanisms in Neurodegenerative diseases. 🧠💡 Now recruiting postdocs to join our dynamic research team! Email me if you're interested! #Postdoc #CryoEM #Neuroscience #ResearchOpportunity

[Fengbin Wang (Jerry) @jerrynosnothing]

I guess our research future is bright... @VincentContice2
I didn't see this coming #3BodyProblem 🍷👽

[Fengbin Wang (Jerry) @jerrynosnothing]

Check out our new cryo-EM preprint on bacterial flagellar outer domain diversity! No clue who'll see this due to Twitter's new algorithm. Important points: most work was done by rotation students, and collaborating with the Wu lab is great. @OhsuHuiWu 🦠https://t.co/jWo1Xy2XNc

We have received a lot of requests for help with making streptavidin affinity grids. We are happy to finally share our protocol for robust in-house fabrication of streptavidin affinity grids. Stay tuned for the accompanying video that is coming soon!

It's phenomenal. We use it every day to guess unknown pili sequences. For our recent 3.5 Å pilus structure in bioRxiv, the predicted sequence is 56% to the correct protein (using the default parameter). Our lab record is 85% correctness for a 2.4Å novel pilus structure. 🍷❄️
