What does climbing the #MartiniTower and enzyme catalysis have in common?
@BiophysK nailed it in her keynote at #Midlands #Biophysics Network @UoNresearch: not all enzymes work at the same speed, just like climbers!

So excited to see our paper on force generation by controlled disassembly in a biomimetic system (imitating actin filaments and microtubules), now out in Nature Nanotechnology: nature.com/articles/s41565-0…
Huge congratulations to all authors, especially @LuisPantaleone!

Struggling to characterise samples using biological nanopores? Do you need a stable membrane environment for your protein? So excited to see this preprint online! A systematic study in which @EdoVreeker finds hybrid lipid-polymer membranes suitable for almost any nanopore.

Check out our latest preprint to see how we used #MassPhotometry to investigate the mechanisms of enzyme diffusion: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Spoiler alert: there are some interesting oligomerisation dynamics going on
