Happy to share the first paper from my postdoc in the Darst and Campbell labs! 🧵 www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.... We used cryo-EM and allosteric inhibitors as mechanistic probes to visualize conformational landscapes of E. coli and M. tuberculosis RNA polymerases during nucleotide addition. 1/4

We had a joint Sashital/Underbakke lab party to celebrate Yukti and Tania's new positions on a beautiful fall day! Also, I'm new to this app and don't know how to tag people yet!
