Cell biologist, biochemist, orienteer, mum. Seriously excited about MAPs (http://mechanochemistry.org/Straube/) and maps (http://orienteering.sport).
Our paper explaining why two motor proteins that walk in opposite direction depend on each other is finally out. Great collaboration with @Carter_Lab, initiated by @zwetza, beautiful structural biology by @fe_aali. A thread 🧵 (1/9) nature.com/articles/s4159…
After 12 years, it's time to move on and go to where the sky is blue and the grass is greener... See you at [email protected] #MyXAnniversary

Our paper on the co-dependence of dynein and KIF1C is finally published in print: nature.com/nsmb/volumes/3… Congrats again to all involved: first authors @fe_aali and @zwetza who did most of the work and contributors from the @Carter_Lab Reposting explainer thread.
