Structural basis of herpesvirus helicase-primase inhibition by pritelivir and amenamevir Structural studies of HSV-1 helicase-primase revealed how pritelivir and amenamevir bind and block its helicase activity.

New work from Tahirov x Lim collaboration! @qixianghe.bsky.social from my lab contributed the cryo-EM structures for this work. We are excited to help explain how anti-HSV drugs work and to guide their future development.

Definitely one to watch. Girish’s love for science is just infectious for those around him.

Excited to see this cool discovery out in its final form. Congratulations CJ and team!

Researchers Link Mutations in RPA Protein to Cancer, Other Diseases Researchers in the Lim Lab reveal that dysfunction in a protein essential to maintaining stability in our chromosomes may be responsible for serious diseases.

Research from Professor Ci Ji Lim's (@cijilim.bsky.social) lab, published today in @science.org, could provide patients and doctors with new protein mutations to test for certain cancers and bone marrow diseases. Read more: biochem.wisc.edu/2025/10/30/r...

We are looking for a computational postdoc to work with us on new optimisation algorithms to make #RELION even better. Join our bubbly team at the @mrclmb.bsky.social in Cambridge, UK. 🤗 RTs appreciated.

📢 Excited to share that our study has just been published in Nature Communications! We uncover how CRL4-DCAF12 regulates the cellular levels of MCMBP, a chaperone essential for assembling nascent MCM2-7 complexes, to ensure accurate and error-free genome duplication.

Exciting findings by the Sternberg lab! Very cool!

Now out in Science! Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are key regulators of the cell cycle. In @vcushing.bsky.social's magnum opus, we use #cryoEM to figure out how the CDK-activating kinase recognises CDKs to fully activate them - a key step in cell cycle control.
