@laurazawadzke.bsky.social was able to grow crystals of the racemic mixture of rubredoxin she made by mixing the mirror image protein with its normal handedness counterpart.

This was helpful for crystallography for a variety of reasons.

Breast MRI after mammogram? How to decide if you need the test

Diagnosed with 'dense breasts'? You may need more than a mammogram
About 40% of women have dense or extremely dense breasts. Online risk assessment tools can help women decide if a breast MRI is a good idea.

What are they so afraid of? They would be wise to learn some biochemistry and protect their constituents.
During COVID, mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives worldwide.

Today, Minnesota republicans proposed a bill stating that "whoever knowingly manufactures, acquires, possesses, or makes readily available to another mRNA injections or products" can be sentenced to 20 years in prison.
This morning Minnesota Republicans introduced a bill banning mRNA vaccines and labeling them "weapons of mass destruction." It would make manufacturing, possessing or administering them a crime punishable by up to 20 years in prison. www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/bill.p...

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

When I learned crystallography in Keith Hodgson’s lab and started solving crystal structures, I learned that some crystals have are centrosymmetric while others aren’t.
