High resolution structural biology approaches and ChemShell QM/MM simulations reveal an unusual structural feature in a cytochrome P460 enzyme, in research published in @chemicalscience.rsc.org

That's one cursed colour scheme for anyone who has learned a little chemistry 😂

Fascinating insights this #FluorescenceFriday, into complement delay-accelerating factor (DAF, CD55), identified by our Ankyron™ AC40301 (red) in HeLa cells (nuclei, blue) on @discoverecho.bsky.social #microscope.

My protein crystals getting imaged by the Formulatrix Rock Imager. I think it's pretty awesome! 🥰
And convenient to be able to check the images from my desk, including time points to check growth. Beats sitting at a microscope where you can't drink tea! ☕
#Crystallography #ResearchComplexAtHarwell

They resealed the electron storage ring of the synchrotron @diamondlightsource.bsky.social during shutdown to get it ready for more experiments!

This week I harvested about 450 beautiful protein crystals, more than in my 7 previous years of crystallography! These are crystals of a Covid target in which I soaked promising drug fragments to see what binds and how.

I started a new job at @diamondlightsource.bsky.social! A 2nd protein crystallography postdoc, this time for antiviral drug discovery 🤩
It's only funded until October this year, but I'm sure I'll find something else after that 😁

Our review is out! It's about β-sheet-based cytochromes, which are involved in the nitrogen cycle. We've now summarized their structures, spectra and ligand-binding. 🧪

Hello new followers! 👋
I'm a structural biologist 🧶🧬 currently having fun with unusual kinds of protein crystallography 💎 at Diamond Light Source. 😀
But my 3 years are almost over... 😢
So I'm looking for a lab-based biochemistry job 🧪 in the Oxford area. If you have any leads, please get in touch! 😁

Iris in CCP4i2 is very useful to find amino acid residues that are particularly more mobile at room temperature than in cryogenic conditions! #protein #crystallography 🧪
@glycojones.bsky.social I assume that's not the use you had in mind when leading its development? 😁
🧶🧬

Making this green protein has been pretty great 🧪 Easy to find it and estimate concentration!
But can you guess WHY it's green? 😋
🧶🧬

Blink and you might miss it moving!
The Scorpion is my current favourite instrument. It can make my 96 conditions (2D gradient of concentrations) in half an hour. And look SUPER COOL doing it! 😆
#crystallography 🧪

I inherited some dissolved metals from my colleague Peter Smyth and I think they're very pretty 🤩
We use them for long cultures of bacteria, so they don't run out of metal ions when making our favourite proteins 😊
