Happy to share my first pre-print out of my post-doc in the SYBORG at the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology. If you are If you are interested in the evolution of intrinsically disordered proteins and how they are connected to carbon fixation through Rubisco, give it a read doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

I have a PhD scholarship available for a student to join my group @ntusg in the January 2025 intake. The student will work on a project related to the cellular biochemistry of the diatom pyrenoid. Here is our first paper on the topic: pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…

Greetings Phylogenetic aficionados! We humbly present “A general substitution matrix for structural phylogenetics.” Estimated using QMaker and AF structures. Hope this continues to inspire more investigations in the field biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our latest preprint: Sriram Garg calculate a general substitution matrix for structural phylogenetics and used it to root the tree of life. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n

Excited to share my first paper as a postdoc with Georg Hochberg Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology! We've made some fascinating discoveries about the evolution of animal stem cells in colab with Ralf Jauch and Alex de Mendoza. 🧬🔬 Link: nature.com/articles/s4146… (1/n)

Exciting news 🚀 Mathias Girbig and Georg Hochberg helped showing that essential proteins for animal #stemcell regulation are much older than previously thought, dating back over 700 million years. Check it out👓 mpi-marburg.mpg.de/1450571/2024-1…

New paper from the lab: rdcu.be/d2g28. You may remember the strange fractal assemblies we discovered in citrate synthase. Well, the reason we even found that protein is that we were interested in how conserved self-assembly is in an enzyme with a very basic function.

Happy to share our story on evolution of protein quaternary structure! We discover an astounding variation in assembly across evolutionary timescales contrasted by strong functional conservation suggesting a significant role of non-adaptive processes nature.com/articles/s4146… 👇🧵

I am more than happy to see this story to be out. We show another inhibition manner to Acetyl-CoA synthetase. Great thanks to mentor Gert and Joh. also great thanks to my best old friend Yifei as well as all contributed 🍀🍀🍀

I'm truly excited to announce our new publication in nature unraveling a central picture of the Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) activation machinery and it's strong ATP dependency - kudos to Anuj Kumar for the fantastic illustration! LINK: nature.com/articles/s4158…

This is a wild paper. The anaerobic biochemistry is definitely worth your while (and beyond me to explain), but let me try to explain why this is also an evolutionary bombshell. This is about how nitrogen fixation evolved as we know it.

I am soon seeking passionate and driven PhD candidates to join me on this exciting journey. Together, we'll explore new frontiers in science and contribute to sustainable solutions for our planet. Feel free to reach out if you're interested in being part of this emerging lab!
