I saw it as a tool to teach critical and structured reading of papers, especially early in one’s career or when the topic is outside one’s expertise. I therefore recommended that the students try it themselves. Thank you for developing such a great tool.

I used it for my journal club teaching session. Great experience β€” it brought up additional points beyond what I initially wanted to highlight to the students.

Structural basis of vilazodone dual binding mode to the serotonin transporter - Nature Communications The serotonin transporter (SERT) is a key antidepressant target. Here, authors present a cryo-EM structure where the antidepressant vilazodone spans the main SERT binding site toward a secondary ...

Yay! Our findings on the antidepressant drug vilazodone binding to the serotonin transporter (SERT) are out! We used cryo-electron microscopy and other advanced biophysics to provide data suggesting two high affinity binding poses.

SLC45A4 is a pain gene encoding a neuronal polyamine transporter - Nature The SLC45A4 gene encodes a neuronal polyamine transporter and is linked to pain response in humans and mice.

Our paper on SLC45A4 is out now in @nature.com! The orphan SLC45A4 transporter is a polyamine transporter involved in chronic pain signalling!

I am excited to share our latest preprint presenting the structure of human NHE6, a key endosomal Na⁺/H⁺ exchanger involved in Christianson syndrome.

We bring together #cryo-EM, NMR, SAXS, lipidomics, and functional assays for an integrative analysis of NHE6 architecture, function, and regulation.

Check out this fascinating study on a fungal multipass translocon! What's really neat is how they did it: cryo-EM structure from the endogenously tagged and purified SND3 complex. It will be exciting to see if there is any potential for SBDD against fungi, Trypanosoma, and Leishmania (?).

Structural basis for selective inhibition of human GABA transporter GAT3 The astrocytic Ξ³-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporter, GAT3, is essential for terminating GABAergic signalling in the central nervous system. Selective inhibition of GAT3 offers a potential strategy f...

We are excited to present the first #cryoEM structures of human GABA transporter 3 – GAT3 – bound to an in-house selective inhibitor, SR-THAP, to substrate GABA, and in the substrate-free state!

I am very grateful that you were my opponent and joined us in Aarhus, also giving such an interesting lecture on the SND pathway! I really enjoyed it a lot.
