Wow, massive congratulations David! @UWproteindesign
BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

Is anyone else having issues with @LeicaMicro ? Our GP2 has had issues for a long time and requests over the last few months have gone nowhere

We also saw some large movements of the linker leading to VSDI and took advantage of graphene grids to get massive amounts of particles imaged from very little starting culture. 🥶🔬

Full length human Nav yield in HEK cells is low and graphene grids ended up being a great alternative to drastic changes to the prep or construct.

It's once again time to order grids. This time for our slated 2027 projects. 🤞we can get some by then

First preprint from the Wiles Lab! We used an approach we call "Phollow" to study phage replication and transmission by live imaging!
