Our small scientific family at CIC bioGUNE keeps growing, welcome Francesca!

So proud of former student Nuria Mazo from Universidad de La Rioja for being awarded the 2nd prize in the Best Thesis Award from the @RSEQ Chemical Biology division🥰. Watching your students grow and succeed is an unparalleled happy feeling. Thanks Grupo QBio RSEQ and congrats Nuria and Héctor Busto !

Enhorabuena a Nuria Mazo por el accésit a la mejor tesis doctoral del grupo de Química Biológica Grupo QBio RSEQ de la RSEQ. Un lujo haber codirigido la tesis defendida en Universidad de La Rioja junto con Gon de CIC bioGUNE. #QuimicaUR #QuímicaBiológicaUR

These very nice and supportive comments from a kind reviewer really mean a lot for our group and encourage us to work even harder on such challenging computer-assisted protein engineering projects! Thank you! ❤️

Our paper on multiple Selective Modifications of Sulfamidate-Containing Peptides" is out in OBC and comes with a cool cover designed by Nuria Mazo & Claudio D. Navo.

So happy to participate in this wonderful project on the role of protein dynamics and allostery in carbohydrate recognition by human galectin 1 led by JJB with our dear GlycoNMR@Bilbao MilletLab friends at CIC bioGUNE. Just published in ChemEurJ: Chemistry - A European Journal bit.ly/31zbBgr

ChemRxiv preprint by the groups of @gbernardes_chem and Gon Jimenez-Oses Lab. They develop cyclopropenone-based reagents for fast and selective modification of cysteine only at the N-terminus. It requires reaction with the thiol and the amine to give stable 1,4-thiazepa-5-nones

Structural characterization of the N‐linked glycans in the receptor binding domain of the SARS‐CoV‐2 spike protein and their interactions with human lectins using NMR spectroscopy onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

A synergistic effort from different CIC bioGUNE research groups, including MilletLab and Jimenez-Oses Lab, under the leadership of June and Ana at the @GlycoNMR_Bilbao laboratory. NMR and glycosciences dance together.

GlycoNMR@Bilbao CIC bioGUNE MilletLab ...and this is what the SARS-CoV-2 RBD bound to galectin-3 through a 3’SLacNAc epitope at glycosylation site N331 looks like under the lens of a NMR-powered computational microscope (MD) looks like. Thanks everyone for this very rewarding, instructive and powerful collaboration!

📢WE ARE HIRING! 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 to work in 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 & 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 in our group at CIC bioGUNE will be announced next week. Master degree in chem/biochem/comp sci needed. STAY TUNED and DM if interested!

Computational Chemistry & Biology is much more than pretty pictures and dancing molecules in a video. There is a lot of hardcore theory and valuable knowledge behind a cool "model". Visual communication is important, but we should not forget the physics/math behind the scenes.
