Es ist ein Vernichtungskrieg Russlands gegen die Ukraine. Punkt. Es sind 🇷🇺- keine außerirdischen- Piloten, die 🇺🇦Städte bombardieren, Frauen und Kinder ermorden. Es ist die stillschweigende 🇷🇺Gesellschaft, die den Krieg de facto unterstützt. Putin ist nur die Spitze des Eisbergs

This must me on all news. The tragedy of Mariupol. Nearly 400 thousands citizens. Numerous air strikes at peaceful people every day. The russians will pay for that. #stoprussians #SaveUkraine

Up: Jewish residents of Iasi, Romania, murdered by the Nazi allies in June 1941. Killed because they were Jewish. Bottom: Residents of Bucha, Ukraine, murdered by Russian soldiers in March 2022. Killed because they were Ukrainians.

This is what #Mariupol looks like today

So happy to see our UFM1 probes paper out in ACS Central Science! Jakob Farnung and I are big fans of hydrazides, which allow C-terminal protein modification easier than ever. Massive thank you to amosliang, Bode Group, Jacob Corn! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

NEW #ASAP by Jeffrey Bode & team Bode Group  UFM1 activity-based probes were developed via acylation of expressed C-terminal acyl hydrazides with carboxylic anhydrides. Probes showed remarkable selectivity toward UFMylation pathway enzymes go.acs.org/1eR

Sincerely commend EU leaders’ decision at #EUCO to grant 🇺🇦 a candidate status. It’s a unique and historical moment in 🇺🇦-🇪🇺 relations. Grateful to Charles Michel, Ursula von der Leyen and EU leaders for support. Ukraine’s future is within the EU. #EmbraceUkraine

One in three Ukrainians are either no longer alive or no longer in Ukraine. Imagine what that would do to your country. Russia’s goal is to make that 100%. No humanitarian program will fix this. Diplomacy won’t fix this. To stop this, give/sell more heavy weapons to Ukraine.

Bode Group adventures in autophagy: We report the presence of an unknown LIR motif in human ATG3 discovered using a combination of new activity-based probes, computational modeling and x-ray crystallography. The LIR motif is crucial for LC3-lipidation. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We love it when group members do projects we never expected to be working on...autophagy, protein-structures, CRISPR knockouts. Great work by Jakob Farnung and our collaborators Jacob Corn

Terrorist state🇷🇺 delivers en mass missile & air strikes, UAVs attacks on🇺🇦territory. Since morning enemy launched 75 missiles, 41 of which were shot down by our Air Defence. 🇺🇦Armed Forces are doing everything possible to protect fellow citizens.

This Edge article from Bode Group looks at the installation of electrophiles onto the C-terminus of recombinant ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins! 👏 Sound interesting? You can read the paper in full, for free here🔗 ow.ly/whrS50M9A6C

Very happy to share work from my PhD in the Bode Group. We report the presence of an unknown LIR motif in human ATG3 discovered using a combination of new activity-based probes, modeling and x-ray crystallography. tinyurl.com/mrxtmsv6 ACS Central Science

Semisynthetic LC3 Probes for Autophagy Pathways Reveal a Noncanonical LC3 Interacting Region Motif Crucial for the Enzymatic Activity of Human ATG3 NEW #ASAP by Bode Group & co-workers Read it here: go.acs.org/56r

What does it take to degrade a protein? Turns out all you need is a C-terminal amide. In a great collaboration between Jacob Corn and Bode Group we identified C-terminal amides as a degron recognized by SCF/FBXO31. Matthias Muhar Raphael Hofmann

32 years of independence. 9 years of war. 1.5 years of the most difficult challenge in our recent history. A time of tears, rage and grief. A time of heroism, hope and gratitude — to those who make this day possible. Glory to Ukraine and its heroes! Happy #IndependenceDay!

Shchedryk, which was americanized into Carol of the Bells, is a Ukrainian song about the turning of the seasons from winter to spring, the new year as traditionally understood. It is a song of hope and reassurance, as well as great beauty.

My hometown Dnipro this morning… central railway square after another russia attack😭🙏 The House is set to vote for Ukraine aid this weekend. Call the Congress. Urge them to act and support Ukraine🇺🇦 bill. Ask me where to call and what to say if you are not sure!
