Came for the insightful, funny one-liners; stayed for the insightful, not-funny academic papers

The work was challenging, but it seems like the dream job: it's fun, yet could also help save some of the tens of thousands of lives lost every year to this disease.

Can I be added if I'm a postdoc in protein X-ray crystallography? 😁

Oh yeah I once lost a grid and found it again this way 😂

Thanks to all the authors for getting this through, especially Hannah who did most of the work!

I'm particularly interested in how these properties in cytochromes P460 are affected by the unusual heme-protein crosslinking. This makes them green, distorts the heme and allows them to oxidise the iron-bound NH2OH to N2O, a greenhouse gas. This is basically what makes them #P460 instead of #P450!

Wow congatulations @cristobaluauy.bsky.social !

For the record, I ended up using BANΔIT as it does the B-factor normalisation for you!

🤣

Thank you so much for adding me!
My supervisor @mikehough.bsky.social came up with the title 😁

Hello, can I be added? I'm a biochemist currently making cool protein structures.
Fresh pre-print on the discovery a new heme modification: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

More papers to come! And I do good SciComm 😁

Good idea, but actually not the same porphyrin nor the same ion 😋

Thanks James 😁

🤣

I'll give a hint: there's iron in it 😁
