If it makes you feel better, I'm late on everything and I didn't even submit a grant

Following RDAR is NVS, which is an N-linked glycosylation sequon. I'm not sure that furin would cleave between Arg and a glycosylated Asn.

You'd think the AI slop would at least put the Ivory Coast adjacent to water

There's very little maintenance. It's great. Just bring it in every 2 years.

This looks pretty good. I'll definitely watch it with my family. We watched the original series together three times.

My daughter was invited on stage to help Neil deGrasse Tyson @neildegrassetyson.com post a Tweet!

Some of the antibodies potently neutralize HSV-2 and HSV-1, and provide protection in a neonatal mouse model of HSV-2 infection. Led by Parastoo, Jeongryeol, and Nisali, with additional contributions from other members of the Georgiev, McLellan, Ackerman, and Leib laboratories.

Our fourth installment on prefusion herpesvirus gB proteins is available as a preprint: doi.org/10.64898/202.... Working with Ivelin Georgiev's group, we isolated and characterized prefusion-specific HSV gB antibodies from humans!

Cryo-EM structures of prefusion HSV-2 gB in complex with human antibodies.

Journals really need to enforce some set of minimal standards.

Our third installment on prefusion stabilization of herpesvirus gB proteins is available as a preprint: doi.org/10.64898/202.... A great collaboration with colleagues at Merck. Our prefusion HSV-2 gB protein adopts a more closed conformation than has been observed for HSV-1 gB in recent papers.
