Our latest work on structures of translation initiation complexes trapped by natural product inhibitors kasugamycin, edeine and GE81112 is out in the Biorxiv…biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Out Now! Structure of an archaeal ribosome reveals a divergent active site and hibernation factor bit.ly/3UhiSfp #Archaea #RibosomeStructure #PeptidylTransferase
Preprint from our collaboration with the labs of Gerry Wright and Shura Mankin @shuramankin identifying the first translation inhibitor binding to the E-site of the bacterial ribosome… researchsquare.com/article/rs-692…
New paper out in Mol Cell, where we show how N-myristolytransferases lipidate proteins on the translating ribosome! Continuing our successful collaboration with @DeuerlingLab & Shu-ou Shan @Caltech @snsf_ch @ETH_en cell.com/molecular-cell…
Thrilled that Patrick Cramer @mpgpresident was elected a Foreign Member @royalsociety, here at today's event! 🥳Congratulations also to Max Planck appointees Miltos Tsiantis @mpipz_cologne , elected as Fellow, Detlef Lohse & Claudia Felser @mpi_CPfS - science is international!😊

@DjuranovicLab is from today officially part of @BrownUniversity and Brown RNA center. We will have our new website soon. rna.brown.edu
Time-resolved cryo-electron microscopy can resolve protein motion on millisecond or even microsecond timescales, but the need for highly specialized tools and skills limits the method’s reach nature.com/articles/d4158…
With our RTI colleagues Xiaobin Ling and @WenwenFang2, we report cryo-EM structures of enigmatic bacterial RNA nanocages made of long-noncoding ROOL RNAs. Octamers are held by "A-minor staples" and other interactions. Congrats Xiaobin, Dima et al! nature.com/articles/s4158…
