Could not have done it without the support from @gisele_andree and the @Drennan_Lab overall! I’m happy I get to be part of such a supportive lab.

Amazing graphical abstract. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

why would i finish a project when i could start a new more exciting one

At this meeting I will discuss some exciting experiments performed at SLAC beamline 9-2, using a very cool technique that was pioneered by SSRL. Please join the meeting to hear more about it!

The Rees lab is excited to share their work on homocitrate-compromised states of nitrogenase. This work emphasizes the importance of the homocitrate in catalysis & reveals a previously uncharacterized endogenous protein binding partner for nitrogenase. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Excited to share our group’s work on chemically modifying FeMo-co. Here we report our strategy to selectively enrich one of its seven Fe sites with 57Fe for mechanistic studies of the Mo nitrogenase. Big thanks to Dmitriy, Brian, Dan, and Soop Srisantitham. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Thanks to my lab, friends, and family!

Congrats to my close friend and lab mate Soop Srisantitham on defending!

Wow our lab is on fire! Congrats to Dr. Brown!

That’s my baymate!!! One million cheers for GPG! 🎉 a wonderful scientist and friend

Read about an amazing new cryo-ET data processing tool developed by Barrett Powell from the Joey Davis @[email protected]! Check out my news article on this work and the publication out now in Nature Methods. biology.mit.edu/davis-lab-expl… nature.com/articles/s4159…

New Snapshots of Ancient Life: Alison Biester (PhD '24), an alum of the @Drennan_Lab and the author of a newly released PNASNews publication, presents a thoughtful reflection on her research and graduate school experience. chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news…

Excited to see this work out! Read here about the methanogenic CO dehydrogenase/acetyl-CoA synthase structure: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… And here about the challenges of obtaining it: chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news…

This is a beautiful article about a key step in methanogenesis! Congrats, Alison Biester, David A. Grahame & @Drennan_Lab "Capturing a methanogenic carbon monoxide dehydrogenase/acetyl-CoA synthase complex via cryogenic electron microscopy" PNASNews pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
