Our latest work on the nitrogenase-like methylthio-alkane reductase is now out @NatureCatalysis
https://t.co/NxFGaYg7Xb We biochemically and structurally characterized the methylthio-alkane reductase, a metalloenzyme that can produce ethylene from organic sulfur compounds.

Great work by the Pierik and Netz group in identifying a new Fe/S protein.
We proudly present the birth of an in vivo and in vitro certified new Fe/S protein in eukaryotes: The function of Mak16 in ribosome biogenesis depends on its [4Fe-4S] cluster https://t.co/Fnaep96Y3Q

We discovered complex metal clusters embedded in its #cryoEM structure – so far associated only with #nitrogenases. Our findings suggest that such iron-sulfur clusters may have played a major role on other early biochemical processes on Earth beyond nitrogen fixation.

I fear the public will never truly realize the immense damage done to our scientific research system and its consequences. A loss of ~$4.5 billion in frozen or cancelled grants with at least 148 impacted clinical trials = 138,000 patients due to be enrolled or already enrolled.

A new preprint from the lab. I won't do a tweetorial until this is peer reviewed, but I think it's a banger, led by @JedNzy. It's about Rubisco and what chaperones are really for. He's on the market, get him while you can. https://t.co/1nnCjqfce1

Molecular chaperones assist with the folding and assembly of protein clients. Consequently, they are essential to diverse cellular functions. In most aerobic photosynthetic organisms such as β-cyan...
