Save the date: NYC-ISB26 Integrative Structural Biology symposium - Oct 8-9, 2026
Registration coming soon.
Integrative structural biology is a powerful approach toward understanding biological macromolecular systems by bridging structural biology and biophysical methods.

My super department @warwicklifesci.bsky.social is hiring 6 assistant profs in the wake of recent retirements. We're looking for people in microbiology/infection, cellular disease / immunity; environmental biology; and plant/crop science. #MicroSky warwick-careers.tal.net/vx/lang-en-G...
Bacterial glycans are a nightmare to model.
Unusual sugars, missing parameters…
I’ve been working on extending the GLYCAM builder to include them — together with @robertamarchetti.bsky.social, @olivercgrant.bsky.social and the group of Prof. Woods.

Proud to share the yeast telomerase structure, led by the talented @hongmiaohu.bsky.social in collaboration with the Wellinger and Chartrand labs. Discovered 37 years ago and took us nearly 7 years but totally worth the wait 😍.

Added a little script to chimerax-trimmings to automate the creation of panels for model-map fit figures.
It zones the map around (by default) 40aa parts of each chain (but doesn't cut in the middle of helices). Saves each as a png, metadata to csv.
Saves each view as a scene for tweaking views.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:
Our funding depends on usage.
So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.
🚀 Assister au lancement de la mission martienne MMX depuis l'île de Tanegashima : c'est l'objectif un peu fou du voyage scolaire que j'organise pour 29 élèves.
Forcément cela a un coût, aussi je fais appel à votre générosité pour nous aider à réaliser ce projet !

A montage of comics and graphic novel covers from work dealing with trans lives.
If you want to go straight to our tagged list of trans and non-binary comics resources you can do so from the link here. www.brokenfrontier.com/tag/trans-an... Again, this is vital work and a great resource for library collection development. Reposts appreciated.
New preprint by @alok-bharadwaj.bsky.social explaining the workings of SURFER, a simple tool to segment membrane, micelle or nanodisc densities in cryoEM maps.
Try it via the @chimerax.ucsf.edu ToolShed:

Despite LocScale in the name, it works on any map.
