What do we want?
A protein emoji!
When do we want it?
Ala-Ser-Ala-Pro

Is it time for the protein emoji to return? Can we overcome the past unicode rejection now with the tailwinds of the Nobel Prize?
Can proteins be recognized as important as 🫘 or 🙎or 🥀?

Check out our new manuscript in @ACSCentSci!
We used a combination of lab experiments and computational modeling to figure out how supercharged protomers assemble!
My journal cover also made it to the final submission! Yay!
