"#Nobel laureate Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin was born 116 years ago today. The legend among legends in #crystallography, she cracked the 27 atom structure of penicillin, and then the 181 atom structure of vitamin B12, and THEN the 788 atom structure of insulin. "

@sflorg #Structuralbiology is an important #basicresearch direction that aims to gain information about dynamics and interactions of #biological molecules. This research relies on high-tech, including #cryoelectronmicroscopy (EM), nuclear magnetic resonance (#NMR) spectroscopy, and X-ray #crystallography. Goals are a better understanding and e.g. the creation of #molecular #dynamicssimulations.

Hi, I'm Dave. I'm a Research #Scientist at a Research Institute in #London, #UK

I'm a #StructuralBiologist by training. I help run a group that studies #Kinase #signalling in human #health and #disease.

In my spare time I swear a lot, play #bass and walk #dogs.

A Deep Dive into Molten Bismuth https://hackaday.com/2025/10/16/a-deep-dive-into-molten-bismuth/ #crystallography #chemistryhacks #Science #bismuth

A Deep Dive into Molten Bismuth - Bismuth is known for a few things: its low melting point, high density, and psyche... - https://hackaday.com/2025/10/16/a-deep-dive-into-molten-bismuth/ #crystallography #chemistryhacks #science #bismuth

In this work we use #crystallography and #cryoem to study egg zona pellucida (#ZP) glycoprotein #ZP2, in both its intact (pre-fertilization) and cleaved (post-fertilization) state.

We also describe the first structure of a heteromeric vertebrate egg coat filament.

#introduction I am a molecular and structural biologist working at the Institute of Physico-Chemical Biology in Paris. I am working with proteins and RNAs, fascinated by the many ways they interact with eachother. I use all sorts of biophysical techniques and molecular tools, but mostly #NMR and #Crystallography. Special interests in #RNA maturation and post-transcriptional #modifications.

I will here post about pre-prints, articles, conferences, related to my interests in research.

`This report offers fundamental tools and methods for experimental execution and #theoretical analysis of #ultrafast #crystallography. We emphasize the use of phase-space representation of the density matrix using the #Wigner transform to visualize the coherent motions that are seen...These methods are generally applicable, and their purpose is fully demonstrated with this example of ultrafast #structural #dynamics of a reversibly #photoswitching #fluorescent #protein`

In this work, we combine #crystallography, #cryoEM, #AlphaFold predictions, biochemical and mouse studies to unveil the 3D structure of vertebrate egg coat filaments and describe how cleavage of their #ZP2 subunit hardens the coat, establishing a permanent block to #polyspermy.

A very big thank you to all co-authors, collaborators, and funding bodies for making this possible!
