Belated tweet - but this work was accepted ~2.5 weeks ago! Biggest congrats to the amazing Wen Yi - heroic effort for pushing this project forward!

Happening this week! Our trainee-hosted #SGBUG online seminar by Natacha Ruiz on 18th Nov 2021, 9 am SG time! Register now at tinyurl.com/BUGNov!! I think it will be a very exciting talk! 🙂

The final accepted version is now online at PNASNews! Outstanding work by Wen Yi and Shuhua Thong! pnas.org/content/118/50… Wen Yi also wrote a beautiful mechanistic review on the OmpC-Mla system recently! Check it out here! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 🥳🥳😎😎🥂🥂

If you are at the @LorneProteins meeting, make sure you check out Wen Yi 's poster and talk to her onsite about her amazing work on in vitro reconstitution of lipid transport for a bacterial ABC system!

Thank you @LorneProteins for the great talks and a chance for me to finally present my work at a physical conference! Even the seal at Lorne Pier is sad that #LorneProteins has ended.

Took a Twitter break for a while, but better late than never to highlight this paper by Kurosh Mehershahi - very happy this got published Nucleic Acids Res (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34181709/), capping off a ton of his work. It all started with me saying “this project is a slam dunk!” (it wasn’t) 1/15

BREAKING NEWS: The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless “for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.”

Perhaps I can highlight a truly unique feature (one of my favorites) of the new eLife - the journal system: author control. Let me explain…

Update on the project closest to my heart!! It’s been a long journey but we are so grateful that this story finally found a home in PNASNews!
