To celebrate this wonderful achievement, here is a recent release (EMPIAR-10999) featuring raw movie stacks that led to the 2.1 Å #SingleParticle #CryoEM structure of the #SARSCoV2 HR1HR2 fusion core complex. #EMPIAR_2PB #BigData #CryoET, #VolumeEM, #MicroED, #DeepLearning 2/4

Excited to share a new preprint from a wonderful collaboration with the Brunger lab. We found that extending the length of HR2 domain inhibitory peptides have a 100-fold increase in inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 infection. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out our first preprint of the 1.55 Å cryo-EM structure of the bacterial translating ribosome!! An awesome collaboration between our group at UVA with the Simone Mattei group at the Imaging Centre at EMBL Heidelberg and the Atkins group at UCC Ireland biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

"We discovered a simple peptide that inhibits infection by all major variants of #SARSCoV2 with nanomolar efficacies." pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… PNASNews Kailu Yang Stanford Medicine HHMI

Our paper on inhibitory peptides for SARS-CoV-2 now published @PNAS. This was great work led by Kailu Yang Chuchu Wang from Brunger lab at Stanford Medicine in collaboration with Alex Kreutzberger Harvard Medical School @HarvardCellBio Boston Children's BCH Innovation News pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…

Today Kailu Yang is presenting new research on weaponizing part of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein against itself to prevent infection at #BPS2023; check out the spotlighted research at tinyurl.com/mphhtdnb Stanford Medicine @hmminews #coronavirus #spikeprotein

Our latest collaboration with the lab of Axel Brunger on enhancing the affinity of HR2 inhibits for Omicron specific SARS-CoV-2 variants is now published in PNAS (PNASNews). Work led by Kailu Yang with the help of Chuchu Wang, Alex Kreutzberger pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Marmots became tame over the years and are quite happy to eat the food passers-by put down for them on hiking trails. Unfortunately this is not healthy for them, as marmots have been found to be frequently overweight [📹 iz6fvkb: buff.ly/3qMRTNa]

#ASV2023 First time at ASV and also first time to talk in a huge theater! Surprised by the large quantity and diversity of viruses!

Eating a watermelon together.. 😊

He changed his mind.. 😂

How big are the cells? Microorganisms in perspective

This peptide structure is wild (PDB 1ALZ)

Fantastic Keck conference! Great minds with insights into the future! x.com/AmyMHz/status/…

Glad to be captured by the BPS TV as an audience. Really excellent talks and posters! Biophysical Society
