Thrilled to share that the final piece of my PhD work is now on bioRxiv! biorxiv.org/content/10.1... With support from @nvidia and the @NSF, we used AlphaFold to screen 1.6M+ protein pairs, revealing thousands of potential novel PPIs. All data can be viewed at predictomes.org/hp

Proteome-wide in silico screening for human protein-protein interactions
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) drive virtually all biological processes, yet most PPIs have not been identified and even more remain structurally unresolved. We developed a two-step computational...

Our photoswitchable HaloTag is out in Angewandte Chemie @angewandtechemie.bsky.social ! We now also show that this system can be used to control emitter density in SMLM. Congrats to Franzi, Bego, and our amazing collaborators. Check it out: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Our new review is out! Likely once an independent organism, mitochondria have retained a striking degree of autonomy. We discuss their capacity to sense within—a process we refer to as mitochondrial inside-out signaling. Written by talented @furkanoflaz.bsky.social @signscaztl.bsky.social

We have updated our preprint "A green lifetime biosensor for calcium that remains bright over its full dynamic range" with some new data - including this photo showing the difference in color for the Turquoise and Green lifetime probe. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Figure 1. The excitation and emission peaks of G-Ca-FLITS are red-shifted relative to Tq-Ca-FLITS. (A) The
excitation and emission spectra show in lighter lines the calcium-free state (10 mM EGTA) and the darker
lines the calcium-bound state (39 μM free Ca2+). The Tq-Ca-FLITS is shown as a reference and was reported
before (van der Linden et al., 2021). Spectra are normalized to the maximum of the calcium-free state for
G-Ca-FLITS. (B) The photo shows the fluorescence from tubes of purified biosensors when excited with UV
(312 nm).
