Delighted that our cryo-EM structure of the enzyme that triggers blood clotting (TF/FVIIa) was featured on the cover of Blood, revealing a new explanation for TF encryption! Josepha Sezdro worked closely with Amanda Photenhauer in Melanie Ohi's lab to solve this structure. doi.org/10.1182/bloo...

HEADS UP: If anyone is submitting an app this week or soon, check with your grants office to make sure they have language that allows them to correct indir cost recovery if the 15% level is modified. It is likely that they will be on top of this, but it's possible to lock in the low rate by mistake
