That’s a hard agree from me. I am genuinely astonished at the number of otherwise sensible commentators who still discuss his latest wild actions as if they’re within the parameters of the normal policy making process.

Please look at our structure of the Salmonella bacteriophage epsilon15 tailspike. We show activity for the “usual” LPS hydrolysis site and an esterase site by NMR and structures with LPS. It reveals multiple O-antigen binding sites and a protruding esterase domain www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Ok, time to feel old – for a good cause 😃 I was in the middle of my PhD when our journal was launched. An online-only journal at a time when most others were not. This is by definition a VERY special issue. Have a look at what papers we're looking for and be a part of the future of the journal!

Some questions for our structural biology community: What protocols do you think would be useful to have? Do you prefer to watch step-by-step videos, or follow written instructions? Of course, not everything has to be a video, but certain workflows are simply best documented on video #protocols
