New publication out on the evolution of protein-RNA interactions. Put together with Klára Hlouchová (@sciencecharles.bsky.social) during a lovely Czech spring.

www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
A scheme of chemico-biological evolution of protein-RNA interactions. It started about 4.5 billion years ago with prebiotic monomers, went through peptides, oligonucleotides, and simple complexes, reaching proteins and RNA at about 4-3.7 billion years ago.

Hiking time with Hlouchova lab during our GACR project retreat in Jachymov. A lot of discussions on protein-RNA interactions under probiotic conditions🦠

To be fair, the organisers have diluted the poster panels over the days👏🏻 So visit the side hall as well, there are many great posters.

Poster is up and I've tried hard to match my t-shirt with the poster title. We're in the front hall, No. 24. Visit us, there's more air than around the posters in the side hall🫠

Heading to #EBSA in Roma and packing my poster to a luggage. Not a fan of poster tubes 🫣

Full text arxiv.org/abs/2503.21357
The same poster but cut in halves vertically, so when rolled down it fits to a luggage. A scientific poster about ribosome simulations. In a viridis colors scale from yellow through green and blue to dark violet.

For Czech readers: The Prague administration has once again shown its incompetence - this time by failing to manage basic demographic data. As a result, young students are paying the price when trying to get into high schools. www.eduin.cz/clanky/nafou...

Our research group studies #ribosomes. Our favorite region of interest is the ribosomal tunnel. We realized that it has been missing a Wikipedia page until now, so we decided to create one. Read, edit, enjoy👇

Why does it matter? Uncovering ribosome origins might one day help us tackle antibiotic resistance.
Fundamental science, fascinating questions, and a bit of time travel. 🌍🧬
