Boosting photosynthesis w/ synthetic biology 🌿💥☀️
#USYD & ANU researchers built modular nanocompartments that encapsulate Rubisco (the enzyme that fixes CO₂): new way to engineer carbon-concentration into crops. Via Sydney Analytical + Sydney Microscopy & Microanalysis.

So excited that this is out in the world! Onto the next phase 🦠🧪
Led by @taylorszyszka.bsky.social + Dav, the first part of a big effort to make simple CO2-fixing cages is out @natcomms.nature.com 🦠➡️🌻
Encapsulation is one step towards keeping Rubisco focused on its very important job...

Being from the USA, I struggle with Aussie Christmas. Maybe all I've been missing is some Aussie Christmas flair? My glorious friends @bambiraptorf.bsky.social @astrolaura.bsky.social and Prof Euan Ritchie wrote a great piece about science and Christmas crafts! theconversation.com/decorating-y...
Decorating your Christmas tree? Try these crafts inspired by Aussie plants and animals
Let’s cast the holly, snowmen and reindeer aside to decorate our homes with Aussie Christmas crafts instead. How about Christmas beetle baubles, paper parrots and ornamental echidnas?

My first ever Bluesky post is a new #preprint alert! What if we could put *anything* into a protein cage? Our new in vitro encapsulin assembly system is esay to use and enables the pacakging of protein and synthetic cargo!

Very excited to share our new pre-print! We’ve developed a new way to put any type of cargo (biological or synthetic) into protein cages! All in-vitro! This enables massively scalable in vitro packaging technology for multiple lucrative applications. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Long time lurker, first time poster... announcing our latest preprint on encapsulin protein cages!
We can now assemble them beautifully in vitro, without the ugly defects you get using acid/base or denaturants.
This lets us put any synthetic cargo into these cages.
