used a gif to mp4 converted and it works. Colour code - red- adenine, green -guanine, yellow -cytosine, blue- thymine. The bis-acridine ligand is in magenta and the green molecules are spermine. Original reference onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Wonderful day yesterday in the @UniofReading ! Both @PrietoTayler and @AbdullrahmanAmd received their PhDs in glorious sunshine and with their friends and families in support. Thank you @ETN_Nature and @andrew_kellett for making it all possible 👋

Delighted that our double mismatch structure is online. Great collaboration with @andrew_kellett (and thank you @ETN_Nature ) and @DiamondLightSou to give such lovely data. Well done @PrietoTayler ! https://pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/ArticleLanding/2024/SC/D4SC01448K

Happy to share the lovely springlike colour graphic now on the cover, many thanks to @andrew_kellett for providing such a reminder that growing a crystal is indeed a bit like growing a plant. Lots of patience and care.

Many congratulations to @McquaidKane on receiving an Ohtsuka medal at ISNAC2023 in Tokyo for an outstanding talk by a young researcher. He talked about our @UniRdg_Research collaboration with @konanfiber funded by @BBSRC. Excellent meeting too.
