  1. Our preprint is up! Take a look if you like kinesin, microtubule transport, single molecule FRET or biophysics. It’s a bit of shift to how we’ve been used to thinking about kinesin-1 regulation as we try to get a handle on its conformational dynamics. Super proud of to have this milestone out in the world and all the hard work it represents from everyone involved.

  2. Does anyone have strong opinions on what the best/most sensitive low volume spectrophotometer is? Looking to quantify low concentrations of fluorescently labelled protein, not just DNA etc

  3. Our work has made the inside cover! Check out "#singlemolecule #electrochemical imaging resolves the midpoint potentials of individual fluorophores on nanoporous antimony-doped tin oxide" in the latest issue of @chemicalscience! doi.org/10.1039/d3sc05293a @washuengineers #WashUESE #WUSTL

  4. Congratulations to Prof. Jin Lu, now at the National Center for Nanoscience, whose work on #singlemolecule #electrochemical imaging is now online in Chemical Science. Happy New Year!

  5. new citation:

    `Using salt tolerance compartmentalized self-replication (stCSR) and a #microfluidic platform, we obtained 11 mutant sites with enhanced salt tolerance attributes. #Sequencing and #biochemical analyses revealed that the substitution of conserved amino acids such as G197D, Y369E, T372N, and I378R plays a critical role in maintaining the #processivity of exonuclease-deficient #phi29 #polymerase under high salt conditions.`

  7. Hello! A new intro for a new instance.

    I lead a research group trying to figure out axonal transport and neurodegeneration. A big emphasis on the microtubules and their motors, but really the transport of anything that doesn't have a membrane around it. For this we use a lot of single molecule methods and live cell imaging. I also post about research culture.

  8. "By controlling the distance between the #nanopore and glass surface, we can actively select the region of interest on the molecule and scan it a controlled number of times and at a controlled velocity. Decreasing the velocity and averaging thousands of consecutive readings of the same molecule increases the signal-to-noise ratio by two orders of magnitude compared with free translocations."

    "We show that default nanopore sequencing settings discard the vast majority of tRNA reads, leading to poor sequencing yields and biased representations of tRNA abundances based on their transcript length. Re-processing of raw nanopore current intensity signals leads to a 12-fold increase in the number of recovered tRNA reads and enables recapitulation of accurate tRNA abundances"

  13. "Boosting the toolbox for live imaging of translation"

    The authors developed a new set of #Suntag tools (differnt green fluorescent proteins, different promoter for scFv) - optimizing them and identifying possible artefacts. these are primarily for #Drosophila but I guess could be adapted to other organisms.

    They also developed a new system called ALFA_array which they test in fly and mammalian cells.

    When the bioRxiv came out (along with 2 others on similar topic), I wrote about it in my blog:

    There are several additions in the print version, e.g. adding miR-21. but its just 1st impression. Have to read it.

  19. Happy to share new collaborative work on #singlemolecule imaging of biomolecular #condensates. They're less uniform than they seem! With #PappulabWashU @TingtingWu #MattKingLab #MinaFaragSci #WashUengineers
