We finally made it! 🎉🔬❄️‼️🚨 So happy to share our recent publication on how we use CryoEM to study nanomaterials. We show how short dual amphiphilic peptides can assemble into hierarchical honeycomb structures via discrete and precise interactions! Check it out!

@fraaamazzz.bsky.social attended the #CCP4 Northern Meeting presenting our work @mpip-mainz.mpg.de on Single Particle #CryoEM of synthetic NMs, exploring the LEGO-like interactions that drive their self-assembly. Great discussions&new ideas on how structural biology can be adapted to NMs! #Cryo4NM

Excited to be sharing my first post to announce my first first author paper! So happy with all these firsts! In the paper we explore functional groups from total, to visible and finally accessible groups that can actually be utilised for surface functionalization. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Tailoring reactive handles on the surface of nanoparticles for covalent conjugation of biomolecules
Surface modification of nanoparticles involves numerous types of active molecules such as DNA, antibodies, enzymes, or carbohydrates. These modifications usually require reactive handles like amines, ...
