Sunscreen technology in the US is far behind the rest of the world. The last approved molecule was in 1999. Did you know that computers can help us design new sunscreen molecules that are safer and more effective? Check here how: link.springer.com/article/10…

Our collaboration with @WillPPK on NOX5 is out. We captured NOX5 in different activation states, and used MD simulation to explore the initiation of electron transfer. An unexpected Zn finger was also identified that is critical for function. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

It’s nice to see it finally in print. Wonderful job everyone.
Take a look at @Nature latest issue (629) between pages 228-234 and have a surprise.

In memory of our much missed colleague Jim Howe - a symposium this Thursday in 100 College (Room 180) with former collaborators and coworkers speaking.

Second first-author pub is finally out 🫡 this one was my first project before COVID, and we got to some real neat data about these weirdo understudied serotonin receptors science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

All structures are now available on the RCSB Protein Data Bank! Check it out: rcsb.org/structure/8UVT - Ligand-free BmGr9 rcsb.org/structure/8UVU - BmGr9 in complex with D-fructose rcsb.org/structure/8VV3 - BmGr9 in complex with L-sorbose
Our paper on the chemical specificity of an insect sugar receptor is out in @Nature this week! Check it out: rdcu.be/dAv5c

In a new @Nature study, YSM researchers help explain how #insect taste #receptors differentiate between different kinds of #sugar. A team in the @butterwicklab says their results could help develop #biosensors or new strategies vs. #insect-borne #diseases: brnw.ch/21wHPTV

Thank you @masha_niv - and thank you for organizing the exciting session at @ISOT2024Iceland ! @jvic_gomes and Joel will both be there. Looking forward to it!
Thank you @BejaLab. Congratulations @butterwicklab. FYI, Joel will speak at our structural symposium at @ISOT2024Iceland

@jvic_gomes even determined another structure for the paper – bound to a non-activating sugar – to test our model for chemical specificity. Worked out beautifully!

Thank you Anita! Hopefully future structural studies will help show why some GRs have off responses while others don't. Neat mystery.
Exciting new work from the Butterwick lab on how chemoreceptor tuning actually works at the molecular level 👇
