@professor_dave @DurhamChemistry Really enjoyed your seminar. Great to get the big picture after seeing snippets on this place. But, I might dream of drinking bubble tea and swallowing lots of AuNPs!

[Peter Chivers @ptchivers]

PhD position if you are interested in protein engineering and metals using a combination of computational and experimental approaches. Deadline is 20th Feb.

[Peter Chivers @ptchivers]

PhD opportunity for next year - do you like proteins/enzymes and bacteria (and maybe metals)? Please get in touch for more details.

[David Doupe @dpdoupe]

We are recruiting! Excited to get started on a new project funded by an @bbsrc Pioneer Award. If you are interested in live imaging, signalling dynamics and stem cells and looking for a postdoc position, join us @DurBiol: https://t.co/MnT6x838pf

[Kevin Waldron @WaldronLab]

I am recruiting! We're looking for two PhD students to join my new lab's research team at IBB Warsaw. Projects will involve biochemistry, structural biology, bioinformatics and biophysics, studying the superoxide dismutases.

Apparently, bees love honey garlic (common name).

[Peter Chivers @ptchivers]

@ndbiochemist That’s a bit crazy - be interesting to do some phylogeny on related sequences to see how it has arisen.

[Peter Chivers @ptchivers]

A metals, proteins, and microbes PhD studentship available at Durham University (for UK students). Applications will be considered on a rolling basis so apply early.

New in #JBacteriology: Eight new bacterial selenoproteins include the methymercury formation proteins HgcA and HgcB in Clostridium difficile. Motifs suggest selenium roles in biochemistry of organometallics. @ASMicrobiology @JBacteriology https://t.co/Rny2ewZ9JB

[Peter Chivers @ptchivers]

@rosh_ba Mostly I just need to refresh C1 metabolism and then have a think. Happy also to give feedback on a draft, if that would be helpful. Or just chat via Zoom.

[Peter Chivers @ptchivers]

@rosh_ba Going to need a read and think a little to process that.

[Peter Chivers @ptchivers]

@rosh_ba Due to mismetallation?

[Peter Chivers @ptchivers]

@rosh_ba Yes - be interesting to know if there is any proteomics/activity data in Zn-restriction to see what changes, i.e. preservation of metabolic activity and depletion of central dogma activity via loss of cofactor and/or cooy number.
