We frequently use oligo pools as a cheap source of synthetic DNA for creating protein libraries. We recently published a review in ChemBioChem about #oPools & #SynBio. Nice to see many are interested in the topic #TopDownloadedArticle 👉 tinyurl.com/bdvxjxfc

Happy to share our recent work and my 1st,1st author publication 'Membrane Adaptations and Cellular Responses of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius to the Allylamine Terbinafine' in IJMS MDPI #academictwitter #archaea #lipids #sciencetwitter #PhDchat #sulfolobus mdpi.com/1422-0067/24/8…

Congratulations to Casper van der Kooi for his recently awarded Human Frontier Science Program! 🥳 rug.nl/news/2023/04/t…

In the midst of this nightmare, we are trying to recruit female colleagues to GBBResearch 😫! If you think of applying but are concerned about University of Groningen please reach out to me to discuss social safety at GBBResearch, a generally supportive place! nature.com/articles/d4158…

We are hiring: Tenure-track Assistant Professor in Natural Product Discovery and Engineering: rug.nl/about-ug/work-… Associate to Full Professor in Microbial Biotechnology: rug.nl/about-ug/work-…

Are you interested in making the world more sustainable, one microbe and one hydrogen at a time? Then apply fast to these positions. Great project, great PI, and of course the best colleagues ;)

Interesting opportunity to learn about interactions between academia and industry in the field of synthetic biology in the Netherlands!

Next episode of our Young Academy Groningen #pub #lecture series coming up this Wednesday with Tina Kretschmer @doctinak.bsky.social and Andrea Giuntoli! Paradigm shifts in Science? genetically encoded behavior? Much to learn over a free pint! 👯‍♀️🤓🍺🍷🔍📓

Special Issue on “Non-convential Microbial Chassis". Submit your manuscript online at: mc.manuscriptcentral.com/microbio . Deadline 📆 30 June 2023. Guest Editors: Sonja Billerbeck, Isabel Pardo, E. Masai, Daniel Volke, J. Westpheling & Davinia Salvachúa. Thanks for RT

We have a new pore! Check out the properties of 15 nm di-dodecameric YaxAB pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Credit to Sabine for bringing this work to light!

New insights on the ABC importer OpuA from the lab 👇🏼 main credit to @MarcovdNoort and Bert Membrane Enzymology, with some help from us lead by @DrougkasP 😃

Shocking Martini: Molecular insights into the effects of focused ultrasound mechanothera... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Must read for the Martini membrane community !

We have been a bit quiet lately, doubting if Twitter is still a good platform for science, but this one we really wanted to share. Chancie T - chanciet.bsky.social and the rest of the team show how ECF #transporters shed off a subunit by #cryoEM, Cristina Paulino nature.com/articles/s4146…

For those who wonder where the vertical lines below the models in Chancie's picture come from: They are the pillars that hold the real tangible models that Chancie had given as a leaving present. Proudly on my desk!

Although we are proud of our published work, the road to publication has been demotivating for the postdocs and PhD students who scrutinised every detail of their work. Have a look at the peer review files associated with the paper, and you will see why.nature.com/articles/s4146…

In collaboration with Marrink and Kuipers groups, here an example from our lab on detecting Peptide Enantiomers, Diastereomers, and Constitutional isomers! Will nanopores be able to compete with MS soon? pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

1/2🚨Preprint Alert🚨 We present the Shocker protocol, which allows to mimic the effects of osmotic shocks in #MD sims using #GROMACS. We show it yields realistic shape deformation pathways and works with #CG_Martini and AA FFs. #compchem #biophysics biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Still time to apply for a PhD or Post Doc position in my lab in SIngle-molecule Protein Sequencing or Single-Molecule Enzymology! rug.nl/about-ug/work-…
