Thanks a lot to all authors for their contributions - and their patience. Finally, all chapters are there and will hopefully serve as a reference for essential aspects of cryo-ET for a while. @BriegelAriane and I learned a lot ourselves - very happy that it is out now!
Finally- a book on cryo-electron tomography, written by leading experts! Edited by the one and only @FriedrichForst1 and myself! link.springer.com/book/10.10…

Let’s be colleagues!
At the Dept. of Medical Microbiology we are seeking a #postdoc interested in studying complement biology in the context of bacterial infections. This 2-yr project is a close collaboration between the @UMCUtrecht, @Amsterdamumc and a pharmaceutical company edu.nl/xchyy

Ever used a FLAG-tag and wondered how it is recognized by anti-FLAG M2? Check out our preprint where we determined a 💎crystal💎 structure of the complex: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (FLAG peptide in pink in the video below) #structuralbiology #crystallography

How does a pathogenic bacterium search for food? @BriegelAriane and @AliseMuok studied the Treponema denticola, a bacterium that lives in dental plaque 🦷 Their results could have direct medical implications to treat diseases such as Lyme and syphilis edu.nl/b783g
