Structural and mechanistic study of proteins, especially redox- and metalloproteins
Congratulations to the amazing Cristian @crosaleshz.bsky.social for defending his thesis and gaining the so-much-deserved PhD title by @beckmannlab.bsky.social ! ❤️🔥
And very best wishes in the new scientific adventure by @bjmurphylab.bsky.social - looking forward to see you shining bright!
We forgot to hug the box though! Well… here it is anyway.🙂

Structure of the ribosome-bound SND3 translocon complex from the heat-tolerant fungus Chaetomium thermophilum. The SND3 translocon inserts proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane as they are produced by the ribosome.
SNDing proteins into the membrane! Our new publication from @melaniemcdowell.bsky.social ’s group identifies the SND3 protein as a new route for membrane protein insertion! 🍄 📘 Read more here: www.mpg.de/25599408/102... Image: Louise Duever.

Bonnie Murphy and Ralf Steinhilper stand together, smiling at the camera. Ralf is wearing a creatively handcrafted doctor’s hat.
Heartfelt congratulations to @ralfsteinhilper.bsky.social @bjmurphylab.bsky.social on successfully defending his PhD thesis with summa cum laude! 👏💪🏆 For his doctoral research, Ralf used anaerobic sample preparation to study redox enzymes by single-particle cryo-EM.🔬 #phdlife #biophysics #excellence

Exciting green news! 🦠 Do you know how certain microorganisms make a living by transforming CO2 into useful molecules? Check out our new work on the molecular choreography behind acetyl-CoA synthesis in the CODH/ACS protein complex. 👩🔬 🔗 www.biophys.mpg.de/2844976/micr...

Happy to finally be on BlueSky (not sure what took me so long!). Feels like recovering something dear that I thought was lost 🦋💕
As a first post, it seems fitting to share a graphical abstract of my PhD project. Incase you missed it, check-out our publication here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Hello bluesky, we’re excited to be here! To start off, we want to share our latest work on the FDX2-bound core ISC complex, which is now published in Nature Comms.
Congrats to @ralfsteinhilper.bsky.social and everyone else involved! 🎉
