Diagonal bike lane. There’s an innovation I could do without.

PCE3 seminar this week! Origins of metabolism and Organic cofactors talking with mineral surfaces about electrons

Expanding the scope of RNA-catalyzed reactions Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg. This work ow.ly/qXAX50OXTr3 #AngewandteVIPs shows how to install a formyl group in RNA using the methyltransferase ribozyme MTR1. exciting applications for site-specific fluorogenic labeling of RNA and more.

Wow. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissent.

This was a fun test for detecting real/fake news. I scored 18/20 on MIST, better than 81% of the US population. Thanks Joseph Yesselman ! What is #YourMIST? 🧐 yourmist.streamlit.app #misinformation #fakenews

Great idea! Eterna teaches humility, since designs can easily get tangled up in alternate folds!

Sebastian S. Cocioba🪄🌷 Olivier Borkowski David J. Castillo-Cornejo PhD. 🔬 Very cool work. Reminds me of a paper from Tom Ellis lab that I believe was the first to use a fluorescent aptamer + protein (doi.org/10.1021/sb4000…) and inspired some of my own work with BurkeLab doi.org/10.1021/acssyn….

“Life is chemistry that remembers.” — Karyn Rogers

BurkeLab A Biochemist and a Geologist walk into a bar and try to solve the origins of life problem. Bartender to them: how on earth did life begin? Them: Exactly!

Happy pi approximation day! Today's date, 22 July, can also be written as the fraction 22/7, which is equal to 3.14285714, an approximation of π, correct to two decimal places.

I think I’ll spend tomorrow ‘Writing.’

#SAMURI is a new #ribozyme for RNA-catalyzed labeling of RNA. It uses a new cell-permeable SAM analogue and generates a novel propargylated nucleotide in RNA. Check out the full story doi.org/10.1038/s41557… rclcu.be/dlcxN

Keeping my distance from 'X' these days. Hence the silence. What alternative social media platforms are ppl using these days? What makes it 'better' (apart from absence of the distasteful parts of 'X')?

The FDA recently approved the second RNA aptamer-based drug. Aptamers offer powerful opportunities for drug discovery and development. Read more from SomaLogic experts, Larry Gold and Nebojsa Janjic in Nature Reviews Drug Discovery nature.com/articles/d4157…

Structural mechanisms of HIV-1 capsid lattice stabilization

Almost all our pubs are collaborations... We just submitted a great piece yesterday. Collaborator wrote to me: "It's a productive collaboration between your lab and mine. Neither lab alone would have achieved what we got." ... and that's why. 😃

If you’re into DNA, go to minute 13-14. This is so cool!

BREAKING NEWS The 2023 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.

New Paper out! In cooperation with the Wöhnert Lab in Frankfurt and Adrien Boussebayle
