Molecular insights into how the motions of the Ξ²-barrel and POTRA domains of BamA are coupled for efficient function Nature Communications - BamA is the catalytic core of the BAM complex, which inserts proteins into bacterial outer membranes. Here, the authors show that hinge flexibility between BamA’s...

See our latest paper on BAM action. Great work to the team and super collaborations with @naranson.bsky.social @antoncalabrese.bsky.social and @Jean Francois collet. Have a read rdcu.be/eJjDp

Paradoxical Activation of GCN2 by ATP-competitive inhibitors via allosteric activation and autophosphorylation Recently it has been found that General Control Non-derepressible 2 (GCN2) can be activated by an array of small molecule ATP-competitive inhibitors, including clinically relevant compounds such as Po...

Congratulations to Graham Neill who passed his PhD Viva today! πŸ‘πŸŽ‰πŸ‘πŸŽ‰First PhD from the lab! Many thanks to Tony Ly from Dundee SLS and @antoncalabrese.bsky.social from Leeds for grilling Graham on all things kinases + hdx-ms. Read about Graham's Research on GCN2 here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Design and Characterisation of Photoactivatable and Lysine Reactive o-Nitrobenzyl Alcohol-Based Crosslinkers Photoreactive groups are invaluable tools in structural proteomics, offering reagent-free activation and temporal control of protein labelling. However, traditional UV-activatable functional groups of...

Delighted to share our latest preprint on the design of photoactivatable and lysine reactive oNBA-based reagents for chemical crosslinking-mass spectrometry. We think that these new tools will enable a range of novel structural proteomics applications! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Delighted to see our paper online in JACS! We studied the interaction of TDP-43 with RNA oligonucleotides by HDX-MS, and discovered RNA-sequence dependent differences in the mode of RNA engagement by the RRM domains @thom-mass.bsky.social @emilyjbyrd.bsky.social @monolejnik.bsky.social

πŸ‘‹πŸ»πŸ‘‹πŸ» I work with fantastic team at the University of Leeds, and together we aim to develop and utilise mass spectrometry and biophysics to study protein structure/function. We are interested in intrinsically disordered proteins, chaperones, amyloids, viral proteins, condensates, ribosomes and more!
