New paper! 🚀 A high-affinity anti- #mNeonGreen #nanobody turns #mNG into a #multifunctional Tag. @nanotag.bsky.social decided to openly share the #nanobody for research use. Not common, but we strongly believe well-defined reagents are key for reproducible science. We hope you find it useful! 💚

Over 60 German and Austrian universities, the German Federal Court of Justice and multiple top German football clubs have announced that they will be withdrawing from Twitter (X), due to US oligarch Elon Musk's "discussion" (collaboration) with Germany's neo-Nazi party (AfD) Alice Weidl.

Näin tiede asetetaan poliittiseen kontrolliin. "Akatemian tehtävien hoitaminen ei saa olla ristiriidassa Suomen kansallisen turvallisuuden, Suomen kansainvälisten velvoitteiden tai Suomen ulko- ja turvallisuuspolitiikan kanssa." suomenkuvalehti.fi/mielipide/ku...

Kukaan ei huomannut uutista: hallitus vaatii huomioimaan ”turvallisuuteen liittyvät näkökohdat” tutkimuksen rahoituksessa
Luulisi, että esitys herättäisi uutisnälkäisessä toimittajassa kysymyksiä. Aletaanko Suomen Akatemiassa valvoa arvopohjaisen realismin noudattamista? kirjoittaa Anu Koivunen.

My 1st post in bsky is about our latest paper of 2024. Excellent collaboration with @petrikursula.bsky.social @myelincentric.bsky.social & Bradley Zuchero labs. We characterized a set of 🦙 #nanobodies binding myelin protein CNPase. It is online at @jneurochem.bsky.social: dx.doi.org/10.1111/jnc....

Thrilled to share our latest paper in PNAS! We enhanced SAXS with noncanonical amino acid labels to extract both RG and RE of IDPs, addressing key discrepancies in biophysical measurements. Big thanks to Lemke Lab for the amazing ASAXS-inspired T-shirt! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
