Experimental project on how ATP driven chaperone cycles keep proteins out of equilibrium. We will quantify energy use, kinetics, and functional outcomes, including clients whose native-like functional state is stable only by sustained chaperone action.

A bit less recent work published in @narjournal.bsky.social led by Klein, Das and Bera. Great collaboration with many labs showing that SARS-CoV-2 polymerase must undergo an activation step to enable RNA synthesis.

I was the last couple of days in Oxford to give a seminar, invited by my postdoc adviser @achilleskap.bsky.social. First time there since I left in 2016. I had a fantastic time, great discussions on science and else. Thank you Achilles for hosting me so well! 🤗

🧬📄 Preprint update (v2): We added new biochemical experiments that clarify how IWS1 associates with the transcription elongation complex and further define competition between IWS1 and RECQL5. 🧪⚙️
