The mechanisms by which the cell regulates its own activity is pretty amazing actually.
Learned about riboswitches this week, and I must say, #evolution is just brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

What determines the folding and stability of protein structures? In his fourth lecture, Dr. Ali Hassanali from the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) explores the intricate world of protein secondary structures, focusing specifically on alpha helices and beta sheets. Dr. Hassanali explains how these structures are stabilized through a variety of interactions, including hydrogen bonding and electrostatic effects, and the critical role of dihedral angles as illustrated by the Ramachandran plot.
This lecture also highlights the essential contributions of cysteine in forming disulfide bonds, which enhance protein stability in challenging environments. By examining the interplay of molecular interactions, Dr. Hassanali provides insights into the architectural and functional significance of these secondary structures as well as their evolutionary adaptations.
Join us for this #OpenAccess lecture and engage in discussions with Dr. Hassanali himself and other members of the Enabla community: https://enabla.com/pub/606/about

"The Continuing Crisis, Part VIII: mRNA Vaccines Under Attack" by Derek Lowe, Science
mRNA conspiracy theories, lies and stupidity are all back again - this time what appears to be as national policy.

"Using whole-genome resequencing data from 174 individuals" ...
Having done a PhD in the early 2000s, the above will not ever stop sounding like science fiction. Amazing.

This week, I learned about a 2014 technique that was new to me - targeted locus amplification (TLA), had a chance to play with some TLA data and as a bonus also used the pixi package manager for the first time: https://tomsing1.github.io/blog/posts/tla/ #NGS #genomics #bioinformatics #molecularbiology

The simulated Kd values for the Evening Complex binding overlapped with the empirical data on its DNA-binding protein LUX 
Simulated CCA1/LHY bound much less tightly than its measured Kd. Likely, the plant regulates these proteins in ways we haven’t modelled: future research directions!
We point to lots specific hypotheses, data and knowledge gaps, see Dataset EV1. We’re not pursuing any of them.
#biology #molecularbiology folks, any idea what's in those 'protein precipitation solutions' in commercial HMW extraction kits?
I'm looking at stuff like MPC precipitation buffer and they're outrageously expensive. I'm thinking these are just ammonium acetate/sulfate though.
