Great collaboration between @mpimicrobiomarburg.bsky.social and @mpibp.bsky.social solving the structures of CO₂-fixing supercomplexes in methanogens and shedding light on their evolution🧫🔬 #methanogens #methane #StructuralBiology #CryoEM @science.org @maxplanck.de www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Diversity of electron-bifurcating CO2-fixing supercomplexes in methanogens
In the hydrogenotrophic methanogenic pathway, formylmethanofuran dehydrogenase (Fmd) reduces and fixes CO2, driven by low-potential electrons provided by electron-bifurcating heterodisulfide reductase...

Check out our newest preprint! tinyurl.com/mttvaed3 Max was able to resolve cryo-EM structures of the DsrMKJOP complex, which catalyzes a critical step in sulfur metabolism and sulfide production is sulfate-reducing microbes. The main findings are summarized in the video below 📽️

Exciting week in Frankfurt! Our CEOS energy filter and ASI Timepix3 are installed and we're looking forward to running the first tests :) #CryoEM #timepix #REELanalysis #4DSTEM @mpibp.bsky.social

Happy to finally be on BlueSky (not sure what took me so long!). Feels like recovering something dear that I thought was lost 🦋💕 As a first post, it seems fitting to share a graphical abstract of my PhD project. Incase you missed it, check-out our publication here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hello bluesky, we’re excited to be here! To start off, we want to share our latest work on the FDX2-bound core ISC complex, which is now published in Nature Comms. Congrats to @ralfsteinhilper.bsky.social and everyone else involved! 🎉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Two-stage binding of mitochondrial ferredoxin-2 to the core iron-sulfur cluster assembly complex - Nature Communications
De novo [2Fe-2S] cluster synthesis by the mitochondrial ISC complex requires electrons from ferredoxin-2 (FDX2). The authors map FDX2 binding to the core ISC complex, showing that FDX2 can bind in two...
