🥳 Part of my postdoctoral work in the lab of @rubenlgonzalez.bsky.social in collaboration with Evy Kimbrough, @haannguyen.bsky.social, and Jacob Mattingly from the group of @dunhamlab.bsky.social is out in @natcomms.nature.com. We uncover some new molecular details for ribosomal frameshifting. 👇
These exciting new results therefore have important implications for recoding of the genetic code for synthetic biology purposes and in the use of suppressor tRNAs for premature stop codon readthrough in human diseases. Congrats everyone!

An RNA modification prevents extended codon-anticodon interactions from facilitating +1 frameshifting
Nature Communications - tRNAs contain many chemical modifications that regulate their function. Integrating smFRET and cryo-EM approaches, this work demonstrates that m1G37 in tRNAProL stabilizes...

A bit of good news!

Part of my PhD work in collaboration with @ssjang.bsky.social and David Lynall is out in @narjournal.bsky.social! We uncover a surprising mechanism by which an ultrastable RNA stem-loop tunes its flexibility, enabling it to both fold rapidly and resist unfolding.
New from our lab in @narjournal.bsky.social:
We dissect the folding dynamics of a fundamental element of RNA secondary structure—a stem-loop—at single-molecule and microsecond resolution.

As some of you already know, I was appointed Dean of Science at Columbia in December and began my role on Jan 1. It’s an honor to support our students, postdocs, and faculty—especially in this challenging moment. Science at Columbia is strong. #ColumbiaScience fas.columbia.edu/news/ruben-g...

doi.org/10.1021/acs.... is a story of calicene – a small polar organic molecule with a CT excited state that may be a Hund’s rule violation. However it is not the first excited singlet state (S1), but S3 in the parent molecule (EOM-CCSD/cc-pvdz level).
Singlet–Triplet Inversions in Through-Bond Charge-Transfer States
Molecules where the lowest excited singlet state is lower in energy than the lowest triplet are highly promising for a number of organic materials applications as efficiency limitations stemming from ...
