Happy Pi day from @CCNY_Science! Favorites this year were the key lime pie and the Milk Bar pie. Thanks to Chris Li for setting up such a fun event. I think they're still going if you want some pie.

I went into elastin research because I thought it would be fun to do NMR on an entropic spring driven by configurational entropy loss like rubber. But it's not! The entropic recoil is the result of hydrophobic exposure upon stretching. Cool mechanism!.

We just put our latest #elastin manuscript up on bioaRxiv. Great work, Nour! And it's always both fun and a learning experience to work with Richard Wittebort.

Elastin is an extracellular matrix material formed when the precursor protein, tropoelastin, undergoes coacervation and crosslinking. It is found in all vertebrates where its reversible elasticity,...

Anne-Frances Miller from @ukychem came to @CCNY_Science on Monday to talk to our lab about electron bifurcation in flavin enzymes. Really cool stuff that's going to be important moving forward in enzyme design for renewable energy.

What a great time at the first in-person Gibbs conference since 2019. Super interesting biophysics in a beautiful setting. (I especially enjoyed the campfire s’mores.) Thanks to @LuciusLab, James Horn and all the other organizers!

Alexy Silakov from @psu_chemistry just gave a great talk here on oxygen-insensitive hydrogenases. I think these are a great target for protein design!

The last days of a very productive summer are passing quickly. I feel lucky to have such a smart and hard-working group!
