So excited to see the first part of my thesis work with @HarmitMalik and @MelodyGCampbell in print! We have a bit of evolution and a whole lotta structure to figure out how new protein domains work, you can read it at
science.org
An ancient protein domain insertion seamlessly preserved conformational signaling while providing a novel surface for adaptation.
