If you are an evolutionary biologist, then I recommend you read this paper. Apart from the brilliant science and perspective, the writing is just sublime. Thank you @RELenski Jonathan B. Losos and Zachary Blount.

Happy to see our review "Achieving Control in Micro-/Nanomotor Mobility", now online on Angewandte Chemie. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… Nice collaboration with Alex Fusi, Yudong Li, Tania Patiño, van Hest Lab, with great leading by Loai Abdelmohsen

Our colleague Damian Padin Santos, PhD working Feringa Lab has just published in J. Am. Chem. Soc. a new method to analyze asymmetric transformations based on aggregation of enantiomers. Congrats to the team!

S-COMPONENT EXCHANGE BY ECF TRANSPORTERS Visualised by Chancie (Chancie T - chanciet.bsky.social) on the last day of his postdoc in Groningen oLife Fellowship Programme. Collaboration with Mark, Aike, Luis, Jan, Paulo Siewert-Jan Marrink Cristina Paulino Publication next year, maybe? Zaid: thanks for video editing

Congrats Toni Llopis Lorente, PhD. and van Hest Lab! Good way to start 2023!👏👏👏

Congrats @fraaije1, Laura Mascotti and collaborators!

oLife Fellowship Programme advisor prof. Otto (SijbrenOttoLab) has just been recognized with the 2023 Izatt-Christensen Award! Congrats!!! 👏👏👏 ISMSC2023

Job alert 📢: several PhD positions will become available from September 2023! Please share with any potential candidates who'd like to work on complex systems, at the forefront of the transition of chemistry to biology. 💪 otto-lab.com/vacancies/

Happy to share our latest work SijbrenOttoLab. Self-replicators with chiral selection was first discoveried unexpectly, and our amazing colleague Yannick Geiger | @yannickgeiger.bsky.social made it into a very solid work. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Excited to share our work on how ECF #transporters use ATP binding to charge a molecular spring and tune the #membrane shape to expel membrane-embedded substrate-binding proteins from the docking site into the membrane. #cryoEM #Biochemistry #MDsimulation rdcu.be/dhJvy
