Case 1: PDB 2QNC. A DNA Holliday junction in complex with T4 endo IV resolvase. Amazingly AF3 predicts the complex within 1.3A. The protein is spot on although one arm is slightly splayed outwards. Not unexpected as this protein was used in training. Pink-AF3 Green-2QNC
Watching Starmer and Lammy dance on the head of a pin when asked if this is illegal tells you all you need to know: They know the attack was illegal (their own legal advice says so) but don’t have the moral clarity nor guts to say so. There will come a time, soon enough, when…

Our latest work out in @angew_chem on what happens to PETase functions at the Solid‐Liquid Interface. With excellent work by my PhD student Shuang Chen @School_Pharmacy @UCLLifeSciences Paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…
Why is @RoySocChem flagship journal @ChemicalScience so poor in its editorship. It’s not even a top flight journal and has taken 4 months to get us our first set of reviews. Never reviewing or submitting again to this journal.
On a Thameslink train to Brighton (that started in Cambridge, went thru Central London). It has no wifi, no plug sockets, no USB chargers. It's 2025 and most passengers have their tickets on their phone. Yet we pay the highest fares in Europe for this ...
What two faced MPs we have in the UK. On one end they support all the killing and on the other end they pretend that they care. The list is endless.
Civilians in Gaza must be protected from attack and able to access aid without fear. Devastated to hear about the killing of women and children waiting in line for aid yesterday. The UK Government calls for an immediate and independent investigation into this incident.
Stellar line up for the @RoySocChem Nucleic Acids Forum 2025 at The Burlington House. @DrMikeBooth opening the proceedings

Can any one tell me why rancid @AndrewCastle63 is back for @bbc. The guy just doesn’t know when to shut up.
Extremely proud of @LukeTaylorLD for voting against the pathetic welfare bill.

Congratulations @EffrosyniA on passing your PhD viva. You couldn’t have got a better DNA lineup at your after party
Doubly pleased to be next to my PhD Supervisor and mentor Prof Sir Shankar Balasubramanian on the website. Congratulations to Sir Shankar for winning the Khorana prize. Richly deserved.
Absolutely fabulous @DrZoeWaller what a way to start your professorship.
Absolutely delighted to be the recipient of the Royal Society of Chemistry Jeremy Knowles award. This prize reflects both the work of our group and also the support of colleagues, collaborators, mentors and funders along the way @RoySocChem @School_Pharmacy @UCLLifeSciences
Yvette Cooper would have prosecuted the suffragettes as terrorists
Does Yvette Cooper know the Suffragettes, whose rosette she is wearing here, planted bombs in St Paul’s cathedral, and went after Winston Churchill with a whip? And were completely on the right side of history? Asking for @Pal_action..
There is something extraordinary about New York and New Yorkers.
How do we fight the fakes in terms of medicines? Both substandard and falsified medicines can cause enormous humanitarian and economic harm - What can we do about it? #PAWeek25 @School_Pharmacy @UCLLifeSciences
First of many photos of PharmAlliance week #PAWeek25 Thank you to Fiona for the welcome flags @School_Pharmacy @UCLLifeSciences
