Hi! Just joined Bluesky. I’m an astrobiologist working on protein evolution and ancestral reconstruction. Proud mama of a baby boy and big on singing!
Reposting as the first author — it’s an honour to see this work published in Molecular Biology and Evolution, and I’m happy to answer questions about it!
Severino, Cuéllar et al. used ancestral sequence reconstruction and protein resurrection to infer and characterize the ancestor of chaperonins, providing structural reconstruction of the most ancient and complex multimeric proteins so far.
