Just out is a little cautionary tale by @emmabelcher96.bsky.social Turns out StrepTactin pulls down biotinylated proteins from mammalian cells and anti-FLAG antibody likes its own specific contaminants. Both of which can end up dominating your precious cryo-EM images. You've been warned!

I had a great experience defending my PhD thesis last week! Thank you to my examiners, @torilhol.bsky.social and Daniel Nietlispach, for a fun viva discussion. Thanks to my AZ supervisor, Taiana Maia de Oliveira, and, of course, bossman @markohyvonen.bsky.social 🫡
