Excited to share the recent publication #Review from our lab that summarizes the current structural and mechanistic understanding of a key fatty acid metabolizing enzyme, FAAL. (1/2)

The spiral

#IsraelPalestineWar Been getting upsetting updates from Indian students in Israel. Really concerned about their safety. Request the Indian embassy India in Israel to start evacuation! When actors can get the necessary help with evacuation, so can our students! #IndiaWithIsrael

Not all criticism is constructive. Not all critics are thinking critically. Weak critiques attack your identity. Decent critiques challenge your ideas. Strong critiques sharpen your thinking and improve your ideas. Listen closely to the people who care enough to help you grow.

And it was a wonderful lab retreat... 🔥

🤯 Now I know the exact meaning of this emoji

🙌 Shoutout to Pradeep kumar for making it as a finalist for the TNQ award! Third in a row for Sblab, What an amazing achievement and an awesome start to the year for our lab. #Congrats #TNQAward CSIR-CCMB

Thoroughly enjoyed the first day of 46th IBS meeting 💥... It was really engaging and looking forward to the upcoming sessions

Presented my first talk about remarkable orthogonal systems on the occasion of the Founder's Day CSIR-CCMB, overcoming initial nervousness manifesting as slight tremors and wavering.

Shoutout to koushickvenkatesh and Mukul J S | ಮುಕುಲ್ for bagging the Best Oral and Poster Presentation Awards at the 12th RNA Group Meeting! IIT Guwahati Keep shining!💫👏 #Congrats #PhDLife #Awards #Winning

Had an opportunity to present my work through both oral and poster presentations in the 12th RNA group meeting IIT Guwahati and bagged the award for best oral presentation. I should say that it was an incredible experience discussing with fellow researchers in the field

Advanced cryo-EM approaches reveal surprising insights into the molecular structure that allows nascent proteins to be inserted into the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. elifesciences.org/articles/98548…

Many congratulations to Pradeep kumar for the KV Rao Scientific Society Research Award 2023-24 in Life Sciences for his work on chiral proofreading and aldehyde stress tolerance in land plants. CSIR, India

So true.

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

Another landmark story from Sankar's Lab🔥

2025 kicks off with a great start, this time on synthetases with operational dichotomy, i.e., a metal ion beneficial in one and inhibitor for the other, rooted ~3.5bya. Kudos🎉to the incredible team behind this discovery. jotin gogoi Sankaranarayanan Rajan CCMB shorturl.at/j7nIH
