Excited to share our article in @NatureComms describing a strategy to solve small #membraneprotein transporter structures using #cryoEM. We solved three structures of a 42 kDa efflux transporter from a single sample. Congratulations to the team and great collaboration w/@danengw

This was an amazing effort by a talented group of people! Using #nmr and #mdsimulations we show how dynamics plays a key role in the mechanism of substrate recognition by the bacterial transporter EmrE.

Kudos to @JianpingLi9 for leading this effort to reveal the proton-coupling mechanism of the NorA transporter from S. aureus. It was a fun collaboration among Yan Li, Akiko Koide, Huihui Kuang, @TorresVJ_Lab, Shohei Koide, and @danengw.

We used the FGF receptor kinase domain to understand how gatekeeper mutations lead to elevated activity. If you like experimental and computational biophysics, check it out. Thank you to the entire team for a fun collaboration. @BillyMarsiglia

I am thrilled to announce that I'll be starting my lab at NYU in the Department of Chemistry @nyuchemistry this fall as an assistant professor of chemical biology. Our lab will study protein self assembly mechanisms in the context of microbial adaptation.

We updated our database of postdoc fellowships. There are many more than you may think (we list 349!), going beyond the well-known F awards from the NIH.

Thank you to @PenmatsaLab for writing an excellent summary of our work in @nchembio
Our latest news&views article summarising a wonderful story on NorA (an efflux pump) structure and its inhibition by a peptide derived from the CDR loop of a Fab by @traasethlab, @danengw and the KoideLab from @nyuniversity is out now @nchembio. @MBU_IISc

Ever wondered why a Na+ co-transporter bound with Na+ or substrate alone won’t flip to the other side, causing leakage?
Now a collaboration with the @Chris_mulligan lab has found an answer. The work was led by @DavidBSauer.

Ned's creativity inspired scientists beyond the field of DNA nanotechnology. He spoke his mind unfiltered and challenged powers that be. He was truly one of a kind and he will be missed.
We will miss Ned Seeman, founder of DNA Nanotechnology, who passed away at 75. as.nyu.edu/chemistry/news/fa…
