We identified protein domains in LUCA (#LastUniversalCommonAncestor). Their distinctive #AminoAcid usage reveals the order amino acids were added to the #GeneticCode, based mostly on size. Older proteins hint at earlier alternative codes. 1/15 https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2410311121 #astrobiology #phylostratigraphy #sulfur #metalloproteins

Hi @DNPFred
In grad school I worked on heme proteins using #paramagnetic #NMR and #NRVS. Then I shifted to #XRayCrystallography, using #EPR #UVVis and #EDX on #crystals when a postdoc. My research group works on #NonHemeIron #enzymes, & #heme, #copper & #manganese #metalloproteins. Really interested in combining #spectroscopy on #protein #crystals to examine #structure #function relationships. -
Hi all - new to #Mastodon (fleeing the 🦃 #TwitterMigration).
I'm an Associate Investigator & #StructuralBiologist at HWI in Buffalo #NY. I direct the National High-Throughput #Crystallization Center 💎.
My group uses X-ray #crystallography, #microED, #computationalbiology, & other #biophysical tools to study #protein structure & function.
Especially interested in #metalloproteins & coupling #crystallography & #spectroscopy.
