Morgan’s latest paper from chilly Dundee

Morgan Gadd, ex-PhD student of Jacqui's, has just published a paper from his postdoc time with Alessio Cuilli - a nice piece of work where they examine one of their bi-functional bromodomain inhibitors and show that it forms a tight ternary complex with their small molecule and the other protein that it brings along with it when it binds the BD2 domain of BRD4. Read all about it.

Taylor takes to the radio

You can hear it here. March for Science is focused on trying to lead to evidence based decision making in politics (that sounds like a big...

Lab members take Lorne posters by storm

Taylor, Mehdi and Athina all picked up prizes for their poster presentations at the Lorne Protein Conference this week. Poster prize success rate was overall about the same as the current NHMRC grant success rate, so a champion effort from them! No doubt they'll be buying the drinks for the rest of the lab...(and did I mention that the prize money goes into the lab consumables pool?)

Have been off X for months but had to log in to see response to AF3. I am much less smart than the authors - but am I (and Erin) the only ones to think that the helical afros that it makes out of IDRs is totally weird? Am I missing something?

Amazing story from the lab down the corridor - @RezwanSidd working with Sandro Ataide and Ruth Hall in @SydneySOLES at @Sydney_Science - now they will be thrown into the gladiators' pit I suspect with the other protagonists that prowl this landscape! 🙂 Great piece of work!
