If you’re into DNA, go to minute 13-14. This is so cool!

we made a DNA replica of a NERF blaster with @MarkRober! currently the #1 trending video on @YouTube with more than 3M views in less than 12h 🤯check it out! 🧬youtu.be/9c2NqlUWZfo?si…



Almost all our pubs are collaborations... We just submitted a great piece yesterday. Collaborator wrote to me: "It's a productive collaboration between your lab and mine. Neither lab alone would have achieved what we got." ... and that's why. 😃


Structural mechanisms of HIV-1 capsid lattice stabilization

Oooff! This one tested our limits (7 Xray structs, molec-dynamics simulations, cryoEM, timeresolved imaging, biophys/biochem to elucidate how mutations enhance/reduce HIV core stability, thus impairing infectivity & how 2ndsite mutations rescue infection. nature.com/articles/s4146…

The FDA recently approved the second RNA aptamer-based drug. Aptamers offer powerful opportunities for drug discovery and development. Read more from SomaLogic experts, Larry Gold and Nebojsa Janjic in @NatRevDrugDisc nature.com/articles/d4157…


Keeping my distance from 'X' these days. Hence the silence. What alternative social media platforms are ppl using these days? What makes it 'better' (apart from absence of the distasteful parts of 'X')?

#SAMURI is a new #ribozyme for RNA-catalyzed labeling of RNA. It uses a new cell-permeable SAM analogue and generates a novel propargylated nucleotide in RNA. Check out the full story doi.org/10.1038/s41557… rclcu.be/dlcxN

New #ribozyme #SAMURI uses a new synthetic cofactor to make #RNA in living cells accessible for #ClickChemistry: Congrats on this publication @NatureChemistry to @HoebartnerLab @JoergLab @Helmholtz_HIRI! ➡️ go.uniwue.de/ribozyme-samuri

Happy pi approximation day! Today's date, 22 July, can also be written as the fraction 22/7, which is equal to 3.14285714, an approximation of π, correct to two decimal places.

Very cool work. Reminds me of a paper from @ProfTomEllis lab that I believe was the first to use a fluorescent aptamer + protein (doi.org/10.1021/sb4000…) and inspired some of my own work with @BurkeLabRNA doi.org/10.1021/acssyn….


Great idea! @eternagame teaches humility, since designs can easily get tangled up in alternate folds!

Excited to share how I use @eternagame to teach students about #RNA folding & function in my @NSF CAREER funded, CURE-style Chemical Biology lab course!



This was a fun test for detecting real/fake news. I scored 18/20 on MIST, better than 81% of the US population. Thanks @JosephYesselman ! What is #YourMIST? 🧐 yourmist.streamlit.app #misinformation #fakenews

Expanding the scope of RNA-catalyzed reactions @Uni_WUE This work ow.ly/qXAX50OXTr3 #AngewandteVIPs shows how to install a formyl group in RNA using the methyltransferase ribozyme MTR1. exciting applications for site-specific fluorogenic labeling of RNA and more.

Diagonal bike lane. There’s an innovation I could do without.

I’m a proud SF cyclist. Always will be. But this new diagonal bike lane on 23rd & Valencia is a failure and dangerous. I was recording because I have a genuine question for @sfmta: what do you expect to happen when the light turns green?
