CryoRhodopsins: A comprehensive characterization of a group of microbial rhodopsins from cold environments www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

EMBL Hamburg scientists have discovered a group of microbial cold-loving molecules, ‘cryorhodopsins’, with extraordinary abilities.

They are the first observed molecules that can act as both on and off switches for electrical activity in cells.

Excited that our article made the cover of the July issue of @actacrystf.iucr.org!

Congrats to my coauthors @gabbygrowsxtals.bsky.social & Vivian Stojanoff!

Grateful for #NIH NIGMS R24 National Resource grant that enables workshops like the 2023 SAMPREP workshop @ @acastructuralsci.bsky.social

Scientists unveil the mechanism of light-sensing proteins that regulate internal clock.

They used the TR-icOS instrument at the ESRF for spectroscopic characterization of the crystals.

At long last, our first article on the TR-SFX study of light signalling in a cryptochrome (the animal-like cryptochrome from C. rheinardtii) is finally out!

It features some of the most beautiful maps I have ever worked with and insight on the role of FAD protonation in committing CraCRY...
