This protein reacts well under the stress of an impending beam time.

These tiny crystals are only carrying all of my hopes and dreams.

Proteins know when you're on a deadline and then choose not to purify.

Crystal trays set up before break are always an exercise in hoping.

Staring at reactions does not, in fact, make them go faster.

As part of #BUPDA @BU_Tweets, we organized a post doc mini-retreat on the beautiful #CharlesRiverCampus with interactive talks from @LaurenACelano and @EswaraPallavi on post doc training and creating your online presence! #NationalPostdocAppreciationWeek

I think crystals know when you don't have synchrotron time scheduled for two months.

I hope everyone sleeps well tonight, except for reviewer 2.

Beautiful structural study from @BookerMan_PSU and colleagues on the mechanistic details of GDGT formation resolving a decades long question - the substrate is fully saturated!!😮microbial biochemistry is so wild... nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Discovery, structure and mechanism of a tetraether lipid synthase

Nature - In Methanocaldococcus jannaschii, a radical S-adenosylmethionine enzyme catalyses the formation of the biphytanyl chain.

I thought the worst thing was getting salt diffraction during screening. It is actually getting no diffraction, protein or salt, from beautiful crystals.

It’s important to let your dewar stop and smell the flowers before going to the synchrotron.

Just a dewar on its commute.
