Working on rhomboid proteases or Derlins?
Interested in membrane proteases?
Like pretty figures?
Have a look at my latest review on the rhomboid super-family. The largest family of membrane proteins, and across all organisms, but strangely understudied...

Interested in rhomboids? Or want to discuss a new method of looking at lipid-protein interactions? Then come on down to poster 169 today! (Or some find me whenever).
Extra points if you ask about my lipid tattoo...

Happy to be a part of this! Functional viroporins and an idea about how they transduct protons? Yes please.
New in @jacs.acspublications.org:
New insights into the flu virus: The Lange lab used proton-detected solid-state NMR combined with the Sun lab's expertise in QM/MM+MD simulations to reveal how pH changes drive conformational shifts in the influenza A M2 channel.

All cells are encapsulated by a membrane of complex lipidic composition, right?
Not anymore! @JamesSaenz.bsky.social et al. show that a ‘minimal’ bacterial cell only needs 2 lipid species
