I'm slowly switching to the other site 🦋 If you're there, let me know, so we can stay connected :)
So excited to see our paper on force generation by controlled disassembly in a biomimetic system (imitating actin filaments and microtubules), now out in Nature Nanotechnology: nature.com/articles/s4156… Huge congratulations to all authors, especially @LuisPantaleone!
Couldn't be prouder to have been voted teacher of the year in the Chemistry program for this academic year! A real honour to have been chosen by the students. @univgroningen

Struggling to characterise samples using biological nanopores? Do you need a stable membrane environment for your protein? So excited to see this preprint online! A systematic study in which @EdoVreeker finds hybrid lipid-polymer membranes suitable for almost any nanopore.
Thanks for the shout-out Ivan! Indeed, super happy to announce our latest paper on using optical tweezers to characterise the interdomain interactions of a transmembrane transport protein in nanodiscs. Huge congratulations to @lyanvdsleen and coauthors.
Single-molecule optical tweezers reveal salt dependence of the interdomain interactions in a membrane transporter OpuA in nanodiscs Congratulations to @lyanvdsleen and all the authors! @JanAdStevens @CG_Martini @BiophysK 👏@MembraneEnzymo1 @CellReports: doi.org/10.1016/j.celr…

Thanks to everyone for making the #SMBLesHouches meeting so great! Amazing talks, great atmosphere, beautiful place, and most importantly a fantastic community.

I have an open PhD position. If you are looking for a biomoldeing PhD position, this is for you. candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationIni…
Check out our latest preprint to see how we used #MassPhotometry to investigate the mechanisms of enzyme diffusion: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Spoiler alert: there are some interesting oligomerisation dynamics going on @sanigulk @BiophysK @fraaije1
What a view to wake up to! Looking forward to meeting everyone and hearing about all of the exciting single-molecule science at the #SMBLesHouches meeting.
