Very happy to see this behemoth of a review finally out, and glad to have contributed- congrats to all the authors!
Our review 'Tools For Building Artificial Biological Nanostructures' is out in @ACSNano! Microscopic machines for sensing and treating disease are no longer just sci-fi...here, we map a toolkit to engineer DNA, RNA, proteins & lipids as building blocks for nanoscale devices.

Was a delight to be able to contribute to this, congrats to the team!
🚨New discovery in the fight against antibiotic resistance! Together with researchers @JagiellonskiUni and @JohnInnesCentre, we have captured a new image of DNA gyrase in action using cryo-EM, enhancing our understanding of the vital bacterial enzyme. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24…

Does getting ChatGPT to write me scripts make me a coder now? Between that, Alphafold and some of the protein design software out there, I really feel like we live in the future.

Our latest paper is out! Lovely little story about the metal-binding properties of obafluorin. Glad I could contribute & get a cheeky trip to Vermont to get it done. Congrats to @SibylBatey , @melissajd_ , @barriewilksjic and the other authors. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

Viva passed! Many hours of yelling at proteins was worth it. Love this memento- my first protein structure.
