Recent PhD. Biochemist, Cell Biologist, Structural Biologist, Geneticist. Interested in how tiny things assemble less tiny things with emergent properties.
Feel proud (and old) that @prstoddard (one of my first UGs) worked with @fleshball (who I went to grad school with) to get out this paper! Cool work on how even things that look even kind of like actin make filaments :) https://t.co/sXNOHz97G7

the yeast glucokinase, Glk1, forms polymers. This polymerization evolved independently of other actin-related polymers and is important for cellular fitness during nutrient shifts. If you like cell bio, metabolism, protein filaments, or protein evolution, then give it a read!
