Tune into nature for #ManciaLab Columbia Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons latest on final step of LPS assembly by the O-antigen ligase WaaL - structural biology, genetics, biochemistry and MD simulations come together in a superb collaboration bravi Khuram Ashraf and all others!
Structural basis of lipopolysaccharide maturation by the O-antigen (Waal) ligase disq.us/t/46mf1cj Great work from Filippo Mancia M. Stephen Trent @pstansfeld Meagan Belcher Dufrisne Khuram Ashraf Rie Nygaard Chris LB Graham Oli B. Clarke and a host of others, across the atlantic
How the O-antigen ligase WaaL completes the assembly of LPS out nature! nature.com/articles/s4158… - A superb collaboration, congrats #ManciaLab Columbia Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons COMPPÅ M.

WaaL highlights by first author Khuram Ashraf!
PRETTY COOL STUFF on WaaL, the O-antigen ligase for building LPS. These folks were amazing to work with! Filippo Mancia Khuram Ashraf Rie Nygaard David I Roper Chris LB Graham Oli B. Clarke Meagan Belcher Dufrisne Vasileios Petrou & others nature.com/articles/s4158…
@pstansfeld Satchal Erramilli Oli B. Clarke Meagan Belcher Dufrisne Anne-Catrin Uhlemann Sabrina Giacometti COMPPÅ. Also I am very happy to announce that Khuram Ashraf is now a staff scientist and member of the #PetrouLab. We have been hard at work, so stay tuned for more exciting structures!
And here is the Columbia Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons spotlight! cuimc.columbia.edu/news/study-unl…
Released EMDB - EMPIAR @EBI & Protein Data Bank, & published nature, the raw data that led to the stunning 3.2 Å #SingleParticle #CryoEM structure of the WaaL O-antigen #Ligase (in its ligand bound state); important for #Lipopolysaccharide maturation in #Gram-negative #Bacteria 1/3

First #PetrouLab dinner with Ankita Punetha Khuram Ashraf Lia, Stephannie and Alejandra, celebrating our hard work and achievements for the past year! It’s great to work with such an amazing team Rutgers New Jersey Medical School Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences #CryoEM Looking forward to the new academic year!
The Tundra Cryo-TEM by Microscopy & Spectroscopy has arrived in Newark! Rutgers New Jersey Medical School Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences with #PetrouLab trainees Ankita Punetha Khuram Ashraf, and Stephannie Rosario #hugthebox The build starts next week! We are also recruiting Rutgers New Jersey Medical School #CryoEM. See next for info!
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) helps protect bacteria against antibiotic attacks. Kristel Tjandra spoke with Filippo Mancia Columbia University about how understanding the formation of LPS can be used to develop new antimicrobial compounds. #WAAW Read the full story here: ow.ly/qEaN50LIvmh
Great to see our structure-based work on the o-antigen ligase nature highlighted! Khuram Ashraf Rie Nygaard M. Stephen Trent
#PetrouLab night out Mompou Tapas last week! We had a lot to celebrate! We welcomed Alex Wei as the new manager of the Rutgers New Jersey Medical School #CryoEM facility in Newark, and Abhin Megta as a new postdoctoral fellow in the #PetrouLab
