4/ With @MessensLab and @juliamalopueyo, we used negative stain EM to visualise heterooligomers and show that heterooligomerisation strongly affects dimer-decamer equilbrium.

1/ We are excited to share our latest work, showing that heterooligomerisation drives structural plasticity of Prx1-type peroxiredoxins. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… This was another fantastic collaboration with; the Deponte Lab and @MessensLab.

Do you need a break from baking in the sun? Our next ECR Seminar on August 1st will feature Daria from the @MessensLab and @Parikki from @RedoxDKFZ talking about biosensors and how to use them in #redox 🔥🔥#earlycareerresearchers #redoxbiology #biosensors
And if anyone is interested in what I have been doing the last few years, you can attend the @SFRR_Europe "Emerging Leaders" webinar on Tuesday 1st August 15:00 CET! The amazing Daria from @MessensLab and me will talk about redox biosensors!

O2 reduction is easy, a lot of enzymes can do it. But what about making O2? A photosynthesis-like system? Even chemists like Harry Gray think that the “reversed respiration” reaction is very hard to achieve (bio)chemically. Below is an elegant solution from the Vamsi's lab:
Delighted to introduce SNORCL, a genetic tool for on-demand generation of localized oxygen inside living cells. We harness the power of genetics to express a xporter (NIS) and enzyme (Cld) that together yield SupplemeNtal Oxygen Released from ChLorite. tinyurl.com/54wre8nx

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is widely used as an "antioxidant". But do we understand what it is doing inside cells and organisms? Check out our review, by @Brandanium, @Vladi76320028 and Daria, now at @MessensLab: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
