"Good reasons for structural biology" Astonished how the field has advanced since I joined it 30 years ago - and there are still great opportunities ahead. rdcu.be/dz3qp

Congrats to Tommy Anderson on his first author publication from our lab detailing the first structure of a polymerase complex from an alphacoronavirus, PEDV! Also a big shoutout to Josh Coon who helped with the native MS analysis! academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

Happy brain awareness week! I wrote this observance two years ago and it still has some relevant topics today!! 🧠

ASBMB I had the absolute greatest pleasure talking with current Narayan Lab @ UMich postdoc, Kendrick Smith, about his scientific journey and transferrable skills from music and creative notebook scribbles. Great inspiration to me😌😊 give his MOSIAC profile a read! asbmb.org/asbmb-today/pe…

Biophysical Journal is accepting applications from postdocs to be Postdoctoral Reviewers. Submission deadline is July 1, 2024. Read more here: ow.ly/fj2h50RjZyV

🌟 NEW! We are super excited to announce our collaboration with Tinkle Magazine to bring you an inspiring series of comics featuring brilliant women scientists from our institute! 👩‍🔬 The first comic features Dr. Deepti Trivedi, who heads the Drosophila facility at NCBS.

So proud to see this out! A monumental effort by 1st author Jessica Norris (5th year PhD student Penn State Chemistry Penn State Eberly College of Science) & another great collaboration with @ProfessorAntony. Thank you to all Hedglin & Antony lab members for their contributions. academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

📢 New preprint from us! ➡️ Ancestral structure prediction reveals the conformational impact of the RuBisCO small subunit across time h/t grad student Kaustubh Amritkar and Bruno Cuevas! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… UW-Madison Biophysics, UW-Madison Department of Bacteriology, #Rubisco

37 scientists will join the 2024 class of The Pew Trusts scholars and fellows, and we are proud to announce Professor Ci Ji Lim (Ci Ji Lim) is one of them! biochem.wisc.edu/2024/06/18/tel…

Congratulations to Qixiang He (Qixiang He 贺琦翔), who was awarded a Louis and Elsa Thomsen Wisconsin Distinguished Graduate Fellowship! biochem.wisc.edu/2024/07/12/qix… Ci Ji Lim UW–Madison CALS UW-Madison Biophysics

Happy Start Codon Month to those who celebrate

1/7 Our latest preprint is out! 🚨 Sourav Agrawal | ସୌରଭ , Xiuhua Lin , Vivek Susvirkar et al. discover human RPA is a critical telomerase processivity factor essential for telomere maintenance. This reshapes our understanding of human telomerase regulation. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

"How Colorful Ribbon Diagrams Became the Face of Proteins" A great article about Jane Richardson's ribbon diagrams and the pros/cons of different types of protein visualization quantamagazine.org/how-colorful-r…

1/8 ❄️🔬Excited to share our latest work published in Nature Communications! Led by Kaitlyn Abe and in colab with Tim Grant, we've discovered a simple, cost-effective way to mitigate sample damage at the air-water interface during grid preparation. #CryoEM rdcu.be/dSWfn

I am thrilled to share that our manuscript on using LEA proteins to prevent air-water interface damage to fragile samples for cryo-EM is offically out! doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Water bears (also known as tardigrades) are famous for their ability to survive in just about any condition thanks to special protective proteins. Researchers in the Ci Ji Lim & Tim Grant labs turned to these proteins to solve a challenge in #cryoEM: biochem.wisc.edu/2024/10/16/an-…

🦇 Happy Halloween!! 🦇 Here's a 1.25 Angstrom structure (PDB id 8PDD) of bat-shaped protein from blood fluke (parasitic worm) --> 42 structures available --> view at PDBe-KB: ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/pdbe-kb/p…

Extremely clever new NGS tech from Roche 🧬 If it's hard to discriminate between nucleic acids accurately with a nanopore, why not synthesize a new polymer off a DNA template that is easier to sequence? It's an intuitively simple idea, but took *a ton* of creative nucleic acid
