This @GlycoMip paper was a long time coming, but we're thrilled that it's out! Modeling from Parisa in @VT_ChE was critical to explaining the unusual nanostructures we observed.

Excited to share this collaborative paper led by Zhao in @MatsonLab_VT with the group of @PolBesenius at JGU in Mainz. We show how the charge state of a triggering thiol affects H2S release in a self-assembled peptide. Thanks @AvHStiftung for support! #h2s doi.org/10.1039/D4OB01148A
