Hello! Im a research chemist working at NIST. This means my work supports US commerce through improving measurements of molecules. I work in a group of all types of structural biologists.
My first presentation at a regional ACS meeting! April 2006!

new year’s resolution: be like sharks
everyday is a no bones day for a shark and they’re still living their best life, biting their way through their problems

The thing about working with nucleic acids is that you’ll forget proteins can carry positive charge and need anions to neutralize 🤦🏻♀️

Uranus and Neptune don’t have magnetic poles, according to data from NASA Voyager. The disordered magnetic field could be created by mantles with two liquid layers: one water layer and another carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen layer. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Using SIRAH to coarse grain my glycosylayed antibody! Hooray for (1) tutorials that work, and (2) my first foray into CG! Can I join the #glycotime club?

Messing around with pyrophosphates, hopefully adding them to modXNA in the near future. Then off to tackle termini mods. Then Thanksgiving prep begins. 👏🏻 checking 👏🏻those 👏🏻boxes

🧬 Excited to share our new preprint! DMS chemical mapping, a key technique for studying RNA structure. Everyone assumes low DMS reactivity = Watson-Crick , high = non-WC. However, analyzing 7,500 RNA structures containing known 3D structures reveals it's not that simple. doi.org/10.1101/2024...
A quantitative framework for structural interpretation of DMS reactivity
Dimethyl sulfate (DMS) chemical mapping is widely used for probing RNA structure, with low reactivity interpreted as Watson-Crick (WC) base pairs and high reactivity as unpaired nucleotides. Despite i...

My students decided to try running MD with a 100 fs timestep today so we’re going to read the Ryckaert SHAKE paper

Updated ff94 atom types AND ran a 5k. The atom types were more exhausting 😩

I love a good pick up meeting.
In my experience coffee breaks are the richest source of ideas
