Antimicrobial amyloids are amazing!! So much we can learn from frogs!!! 🐸 cross-β fibrils, α-helical supramolecular structures, or multi-layered nanotubes. How crazy is that???
Big thanks to Fabio and co-authors, the cryoEM facility at the CSSB and EMBL P14 @ DESY PETRA-III.

Structural and Functional Versatility of the Amyloidogenic Non‐Amidated Variant of the Antimicrobial Peptide Citropin 1.3

Citropin 1.3 is an antimicrobial peptide derived from amphibians that forms amyloid structures. Here, the structural and functional properties of citropin 1.3 are characterized. Using high-resolution...

Huge congratulations to my first PhD student—and truly one-of-a-kind scientist and person—Einav Tayeb-Fligelman, on accepting a faculty position at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem! Reminiscent of the path - from Technion's synchrotron trips, to celebrating your new role in my CSSB/DESY lab💕
