How cool is this! A new system for therapeutic protein delivery using engineered protein nanomachines 💊👾

Now in formatted form: "Tunable In Vivo Colocalization of Enzymes within P22 Capsid-Based Nanoreactors" From co-loading ratios measured by FRET to learning that sometimes less is more for densely packed enzymes! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Want to learn about the science of Plant Molecular Farming? 💊🌱 come and hear me talk at the Paddo tomorrow night! 🍺

Our work on antiplasmodial peptide-drug conjugates is out today in Bioconjugate Chem! Congrats to PhD student Izzy Palombi for leading the effort, joined by Andrew White & Caitlin Gare, Brendan McMorran at JCSMR and Nicole Lawrence & The Craik Group at IMB! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Meanwhile, somewhere in remote FNQ, @PlantDocEd encourages @MarkJackson57 to give it a little touch ☠️

Great to get together with over 100 CIPPS Early and Mid- Career Researchers for an inspiring two days of amazing science and mentoring programs in the picturesque Blue Mountains!

Close up of the newly-infected bacterial cell from "Bacteriophage T4 Infection." I drew the illustration in Photoshop at a scale of 1 pixel/nanometer.

Join us at the Atrium at UQ Brisbane City on 16 November for cheese and chats, where we will share our vision for addressing global health challenges. Hear insight into the research from different career perspectives 🔗Register bit.ly/UQEvent Institute for Molecular Bioscience UQ News CIPPS

I'd heard of Arc proteins, but another cool VLP expressed in the brain! 🌐🧠 Will be interesting to follow Aera Therapeutics developments as they leverage these endogenous protein cages for therapeutic applications 🧬

What a cool piece of science! Employing sortase A to not only facilitate C-to-C protein ligation but also to achieve an intramolecular protein domain inversion. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Coming down from the high of Taylor-related content with the Aus part of the Eras tour now over? I've got you covered. Introducing: 🔺Tetrahedral encapsulin protein cages (Dr Taylor Szyszka's version) biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Encapsulins form icosahedra. How did she make pyramids?

In our article published today nature , we report complete all-atom structural models of a fully packaged bacteriophage particle. Congratulations to Kush Coshic on his first publication! Many thanks to Chris Maffeo and David Winogradoff for pushing this 6-year project forward.

New preprint out bioRxiv. Great work by PhD student Seokmu Kwon (Seokmu Kwon) and postdoc Mike Andreas. Congrats! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Fun times at #ISPMB24 in Cairns. Enjoying being able to share some fun work expressing protein cages in 🌱

Excited to finally be able to tweet (or whatever X-ing is called) about my first first author paper, now published! We explored using protein cages as tools for encapsulating bioactive peptides which are typically difficult to produce recombinantly. doi.org/10.1111/1751-7…
