Welcome to our MetCop just starting project! Through a multidisciplinary approach, MetCop aims to establish a correlation between structural features of Met-rich domains of different CueOs, copper binding properties, in vitro enzymatic activity and in vivo copper resistance

As a nice introduction to the MetCop project you are invited to read our recent review in Current Opinion in Electrochemistry here (available for free till 18/02): authors.elsevier.com/c/1eKhh8jV-Rj5… Collaboration @BIP8_Marseille, Benjamin Ezraty, Ilbert marianne and K.Sowa (Kyoto University)

The latest on pMMO is out today in Science Magazine. Check out the structure of active enzyme in native lipid nanodiscs science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Its finally out! copper induced cell death, or #cuproptosis , a new form of regulated cell death induced by copper ionophores targeting lipoylated (there is such a thing) and Fe-S cluster proteins in a process that is FDX1 dependent Broad Institute science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Thank you ⁦@SJD956⁩ for writing this super thoughtful perspective #cuproptosis ⁦Broad Institute⁩ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Huge congrats to Ilbert marianne's group for this cool mBio paper on copper inducing protein aggregation in E. coli as a mechanism of toxicity. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

New paper out from our lab N,N-Dimethyldithiocarbamate Elicits Pneumococcal Hypersensitivity to Copper and Macrophage-Mediated Clearance...but what the heck does that mean? a 🧵 journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ia…

Happy to share our latest study on copper-induced protein aggregation, published in @mBio, with great collaborators Dana Reichmann, Pierre Genevaux, Peter Faller lab BCB-Faller Group and others not on twitter. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

How copper is toxic to E. Coli in anaerobic conditions? journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

Amazing commentary, what a very nice surprise! Our paper was beautifully summarized and all remaining questions are well highlighted! Thanks! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

Carolyn Bertozzi – awarded the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry – has taken click chemistry to a new dimension and started utilising it in living organisms. Her bioorthogonal reactions take place without disrupting the normal chemistry of the cell.
