Oxygen deprivation due to flooding brings many changes in plant physiology.

SNP2Prot hosted Dr Romy Schmidt-Schippers from Uni Bielefeld today. Her work demonstrated key proteins and cellular pathways that adapt upon flood induced hypoxia.

Rapid adaptation and extinction in synchronized outdoor evolution experiments of Arabidopsis Climate change forces species to adapt rapidly to avoid extinction. To directly observe rapid adaptation and extinction, we conducted synchronized evolution experiments with Arabidopsis thaliana in 30...

Devising outdoor evolution experiments with multicellular eukaryotes is always a challenge. Check out the Science article below where SNP2Prot captains M. Quint and C. Delker took part!

Congrats to authors across the globe👏

A Native Nepenthesin Reactor for Improved Proteolytic Digestion of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins in Proteomics Workflows A workflow is presented for the extraction and purification of native nepenthesin (NEP-NAT) from Nepenthes species, followed by the enzyme's immobilization on POROS-AL chromatographic material. The N...

Latest publication from SNP2Prot colleagues C. Wall and A. Sinz reveals that the Nepenthesin protease, isolated from 𝘕𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴 sp., carries superior proteolytic activity towards IDPs.

Kudos to the team 🎉

After two inspiring days with @crc1644.bsky.social, it’s clear how complementary our initiatives are.
Exited for future collaborations!
@dfg.de

The final day of our joint retreat with @crc1644.bsky.social starts with a talk by our invited speaker @alexanderforderer.bsky.social

What a treat to get a master class on XL-MS from the one and only @sinzandrea.bsky.social #SNP2Prot

Kick-off of our joint retreat of CRC1644 & @snp2prot.bsky.social We are excited and look forward to two inspiring days!

What is better than a CRC retreat? A retreat of two CRCs!
Welcome @crc1644.bsky.social to Halle!
We are exited for two days of getting to know each other and discovering new synergies.

Early kick‑off for the SNP2Prot Spring Retreat.
Ready to dive in! 🌱

I love this community! Looking forward to a couple of days with this fantastic bunch and lots of great science.

Day one of our spring retreat. The poster session is in full swing! @unihalle.bsky.social

Cryo-EM structure of photosystem II supercomplex from a green microalga with extreme phototolerance - Nature Communications Photosystem II drives photosynthesis, but how desert algae adapt to excess of light remains unclear. Here, authors present a cryo-EM structure of PSII from Chlorella ohadii, revealing structural featu...

How does life thrive in extreme light conditions?

Excited to share recent work from SNP2Prot colleagues Rameez Arshad and Panos Kastritis (along with Roman Kouřil and others)

Excited to share the latest collaborative SNP2Prot publication!

This work combines cryo-EM, cross-linking, and multi-scale approaches to uncover how pentameric channels function. Insights that reach far beyond plant science. 🌍

Congrats to all authors!

🎉 SNP2Prot turns 1! 🎉

From SNPs to proteoforms, we've spent a year decoding plant protein diversity with 70+ scientists across disciplines.

Thanks for following along, here’s to more discoveries ahead! 🌱🧬
