New work out in @commsbio.nature.com @natureportfolio.nature.com! With Anna Pagotto, we show SARS-CoV-2 Mpro has a secondary preference for R↓ beyond LQ↓. This broader specificity can directly activate the coagulation cascade. #Biochem & #Proteomics all in!

Hello Bluesky! 🌤️

We're on the Molecular Cell cover!

How are ribosome levels adjusted?

Stm1 not only protects ribosomes from degradation, it also promotes their biogenesis in nutrient-rich conditions.

Two roles, one protein - tuned by nutrient availability.

Hi Blueskyers! Excited to share our work in @naturecomms.bsky.social. With the group of Michel Steinmetz(PSI) we combined quantitative XL-MS and biophysics to reveal how Bik1 dynamically rearranges in dilute and phase separated state.
