Edwin Antony
@professorantony.bsky.social
Professor of Biochemistry at St. Louis University School of Medicine. Passionate about mechanistic & structural enzymology, electron transfer & nucleic acid binding enzymes. Fascinated by Cryo-EM, kinetics, single molecules and student training. Golf Nut!
Spread the word if you can.
We have an unused stopped flow accessory from Applied Photophysics. We traded in our Chirascan CD instrument so we have no use for this anymore. Reach out if you are interested and can find a home for this setup. Will ofcourse only work with a Chirascan!

We were one of the lucky ones to receive our NCI award. We have an open postdoctoral fellow or research tech position in the group. If you (or anyone you know) has strong expertise in structural biology or cell biology (genomic instability mechanisms) please reach out. www.antonylab.org

Parts from GE-Cytiva for AKTAs were always ridiculous to begin with….Now look, no time wasted!!!!

What to do? I just received this email from a fantastic student I was hoping to start this year! Uncertainties abound! Let’s see where all our programs end up after the dust settles!

New CryoEM structure drop from the lab - courtesy @rajnandani.bsky.social (postdoc in the group)
This one in time for Valentines Day!

Hope we can all go back in time and just celebrate discoveries rather than cower in anxiety.

Hope the structure brings an iota of joy in these dark times.

My group gave me an amazing Christmas present yesterday. Hope Santa comes in to your labs as well!

This is finally ready to share. The mechanism of Rad52 (mediator) catalyzed Rad51 (recombinase) engagement onto DNA during HR. Study resolves long standing questions between Rad52 and BRCA2. How do they function the same, but are structurally not related.

Midwest Enzyme Mechanisms 2024 today @notredame.bsky.social
Wonderful campus and Life Sciences Building

He is all grown up 😀. Constant reminder that life moves on whether or not the next paper gets published or the next proposal funded. Age certainly helps brings perspective. Happy Holidays!

Serendipity!! When you accidentally find that a nucleic acid binding protein in the lab has an FeS cluster ❤️. Now the research areas in the lab collide!

Guess, we need to double post until the migration is complete 😀 New paper from the group describing how Rad52-Rad51 interactions are likely similar to BRCA2-RAD51 interactions. rdcu.be/dnOKZ

To set things off in motion here: “Come be my colleague and floor mate. Reach out if you have questions about the department, facilities, or why we love St. Louis a lot. Any area of Biochemistry, Mechanistic enzymology, and/or Structural Biology”. Please share with your trainees. 🙏
