#KeinVergessen: Heute vor zwei Jahren, am 25. März 2024, verübt ein Rechtsextremer einen rassistischen Brandanschlag in Solingen, bei dem İsmail (Kancho) Zhilov & Kıymet (Katya) Zhilova sowie ihre Töchter Elis (Emily) & Gizem (Galia) ums Leben kommen.

🚨 Preprint alert!
We solved the structure of human NSUN2 bound to Asp tRNA, revealing how it installs m⁵C and recognizes RNAs

I just sent it to you :)
Our recent investigation of the constriction in the bacterial ribosomal tunnel is online. Unbiased all-atom MD simulations of the entire ribosome and PDB analysis show, how flexible the constriction is. The flexibility is modulated by short nascent polypetides.
We are looking for RNA enthusiasts to join us at the @uniregensburg.bsky.social as a junior group leader! Our university offer excellent infrastructure and collaboration opportunities for ground breaking RNA research. Please RT @jrrnascientists.bsky.social @rnasociety.bsky.social
We are recruiting a computational scientist for a postdoc position to work on detecting RNA modifications using nanopore sequencing:

Alex Pretti, wearing a green sweater with his VA badge on.
This is Alex Pretti.
This morning he was murdered by ICE. Six ICE agents held him down and shot him at point blank range. Alex was a nurse and researcher at the VA.
Our thoughts are with his loved ones and we stand united in action calling for the abolishment of ICE.

Listen to this if you bear. Phone call from #Iran. I will transcript (pardon typos).

Over 100 hours of Internet and phone blackout, as the regime commits crimes against humanity. The death toll is now in the thousands. If you care *at all* about human rights, do something. Contact your representatives. Demand accountability. History will not forgive you for looking away. #Iran
If anyone is interested in making bacterial ribosome-nascent chain complexes and studying them using HDX-MS, we have written up a detailed protocol.

Characterise the conformational dynamics of the ribosome, nascent polypeptide and bound chaperones, label-free and at peptide-level
Iran has been under communications blackout for over 60 hours now. Several thousand people have been killed (numbers vary by source, I have seen between 2 and 5000 this morning). Iranians abroad don't know if their loved ones are alive or dead, have absolutely no way to communicate 1/
As a reminder, in the 2019 protests, the Iranian regime killed about 1500 people in less than two weeks. They do this under the cover of cutting internet. This time, they have cut off the internet, phone lines, and closed airspace. This is a crisis. Don't look away.

📜 New preprint! We developed PoGö, an algorithm to optimize the essential dynamics of GöMartini proteins based on all-atom simulations: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Awesome to see this epic piece of work, led by @cecclementi.bsky.social, finally appear in @natchem.nature.com.
The development of a general coarse-grained protein forcefield to describe folding, binding and conformation changes without solvent and all-atom, has been long anticipated!
