Excited to announce the publication of our study on the architecture of the ratGAT1 in the cytosol-facing, GABA bound state NatureStructMolBiol. Brilliant effort Smruti Ranjan Nayak and well supported by @DeepthiJoseph Archishman Dakua @AthreyaArunabh nature.com/articles/s4159…

Its a pleasure to announce the publication of our latest work on the cryoEM structure of QacA resolved using Indian camelid antibodies in The EMBO Journal . Fantastic effort by Puja Majumder shahbaz ahmed Pragya and @Athreya_Arunabh.embopress.org/doi/full/10.15…

Excited to share that my PhD thesis on QacA finally came to a close after solving its structure using cryo-EM. Happy to see this out. Thanks to all the authors shahbaz ahmed, Pragya, @AthreyaArunabh and Aravind Penmatsa: embopress.org/doi/full/10.15…

Delighted to share our study describing the role of conformational dynamics in dsRNA recognition and binding. Congratulations, Firdousi Parvez, for leading this work, and team, for your beautiful contributions Devika Sangpal #Harshad and ZainabKhan

Really excited to share our latest work on NMR-based conformational dynamics of dsRBDs responsible for RNA recognition and binding. Here is a link to the preprint! Kudos to the entire team for all the hard work that went into this. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Jeetender Chugh (Jeet) ZainabKhan
