So I made the bold move to get one of these bad boys so that we can plunge in house ASAP after samples get off the FPLC. I've only ever used GP2/vitrobot. Does anyone have any tips for manual plunging or is it just a matter of practice and trial and error? #CryoEM #Vitrification

First paper of 2024! This was a very fun and highly collaborative project! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

CryoEM unveils structure of nano-sized 'RNA copy machine,' a key player in the ancient RNA world. This breakthrough may fuel RNA nanotech and medical advancements. 🧬 Ebbe Sloth Andersen, Phil Holliger, and Ewan McRae et al. publish findings in PNAS (PNASNews). inano.au.dk/about/news-eve…

Hello X network! My lab is currently looking to hire a post-doctoral researcher to work on the design and characterization of RNA nanostructures with therapeutic applications. lnkd.in/gdyX9yCq Should you or anyone you know of be interested, please do reach out!

Hi #RNA researchers out there. Since Brandel is out of business, does anyone know where we can get replacement parts for thier fractionator? Right now, we're looking for these gasket sets. in particular size c
