Last chance to apply to the Cold Spring Harbor #cryoem course this March (application deadline is Jan 15th)! Learn all about sample prep, microscope operation, and image processing at this fun 2-week course @kollmanlab @Jen_Cash_11 @cshlcourses meetings.cshl.edu/courses.as…
Congrats to our grad students who pitched therapeutic targets at this year's @ScrippsGradPrgm Drug Discovery Shark Tank - particularly Shelby @ShelbyFerrier and Morgan @m_m_gee on their winning proposal to target Cholera toxin subunit B, which raised $4 million!

Proud of new work tinyurl.com/yhz4c6ry from the lab by Zhicheng (Chen) Cui @Chen3dem using single-particle cryo-EM on liposomes to show how mTORC1 integrates nutrient and growth factor signaling at lysosomes, collab. w/ @G__Napolitano, A. Esposito, and A. Ballabio.
The human mitochondrial ClpXP is uniquely assembled and regulated compared to its bacterial counterparts. Congrats to Kelly Chen on her years of hard work on this challenging complex! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Mystery solved. And fascinating! Thanks Alan

My bench skills are long gone…
Proof our lab skills are cutting-edge—both at the microscope and the (pumpkin carving) bench! 🎃🔬 #CryoEM #PumpkinScience @scrippsresearch

Some thoughts on the current state of single particle cryo-EM map/model validation. (TLDR: preferred orientation remains a big problem, ❤️ Q-scores. There's been progress, but there's still more to do. ) authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

The registration deadline of the meeting "Emerging theoretical approaches to complement single-particle cryo-electron microscopy" is today!
Join us in Trieste, Italy, with an outstanding list of speakers. biophysics.org/2024trieste#/
Pls RT & Apply !

Grid factory set up in La Jolla thanks to @RubinsteinJohn & @jzhaosbp! Efforts spearheaded by @lalexandrescu1, carbon or gold with a bunch of different hole sizes and spacing. Come by any time @GonenShane !
We always thought nucleotide state strictly defined AAA+ conformation, but Jeff Mindrebo's work on mito LONP1 suggests more is at play - substrate interactions also drive protein translocation! Revisiting & rethinking the hand-over-hand mechanism: tinyurl.com/49y7a6h6
Replying to @CrollTristan
Finally getting around to using this, very pleased with the implementation. Thanks Tristan! Is it possible to color the residues according to Q-score like in the OG Chimera plugin?

Hey all new(ish) structural biology PIs out there - I started a slack workspace geared toward us! If you’d like to join, DM me your email and method(s) of choice, and I’ll add you to the group.

We were incredibly disappointed with the lack of code or executable accompanying the publication of AF3 in @Nature . This contradicts scientific principles of the ability to evaluate, use, and build upon existing work. zenodo.org/records/11179894

There is no such thing as AlphaFold3. There is only alphafoldserver.com. The difference is throttling rigorous scientific and biomedical research.
