During lab meeting:
"I don't even have time to tell you how wrong you are"
Also during lab meeting:
"Actually, it's gonna bug me if I don't"

The thing about working with nucleic acids is that you’ll forget proteins can carry positive charge and need anions to neutralize 🤦🏻‍♀️

Uranus and Neptune don’t have magnetic poles, according to data from NASA Voyager. The disordered magnetic field could be created by mantles with two liquid layers: one water layer and another carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen layer. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

This picture of Neptune was produced from the last whole planet images taken through the green and orange filters on NASA's Voyager 2 narrow-angle camera. The images were taken at a range of 4.4 million miles from the planet, 4 days and 20 hours before closest approach. CREDIT: NASA

Using SIRAH to coarse grain my glycosylayed antibody! Hooray for (1) tutorials that work, and (2) my first foray into CG! Can I join the #glycotime club?

Messing around with pyrophosphates, hopefully adding them to modXNA in the near future. Then off to tackle termini mods. Then Thanksgiving prep begins. 👏🏻 checking 👏🏻those 👏🏻boxes

🧬 Excited to share our new preprint! DMS chemical mapping, a key technique for studying RNA structure. Everyone assumes low DMS reactivity = Watson-Crick , high = non-WC. However, analyzing 7,500 RNA structures containing known 3D structures reveals it's not that simple. doi.org/10.1101/2024...

A quantitative framework for structural interpretation of DMS reactivity

Dimethyl sulfate (DMS) chemical mapping is widely used for probing RNA structure, with low reactivity interpreted as Watson-Crick (WC) base pairs and high reactivity as unpaired nucleotides. Despite i...

My students decided to try running MD with a 100 fs timestep today so we’re going to read the Ryckaert SHAKE paper

Updated ff94 atom types AND ran a 5k. The atom types were more exhausting 😩

Im proud of my research, sure, but we WON THE PUMPKIN CARVING COMPETITION this year
