Protein structure, function and engineering

More grants! Yay!

At the same time we found out about the grant towards our new NMR spectrometer, Jacqui was awarded an NHMRC Project Grant to continue some of her work on LIM domain complexes, and Margie and Ann were awarded an ARC Discovery Grant to investigate aspects of hydrophobin structure and function. Celebration time!

More megahertz, anyone?!

We met with some success in the latest round of ARC Equipment and Infrastructure grants and have been awarded $1.3M towards the cost of an 800 MHz NMR spectrometer to keep our cryo-equipped 600 company. We also have some commitments from other universities, which means that so long as we can raise the remainder of the funds, we will soon be shopping for a new shiny toy!

Translation services on offer!

Out of curiosity, Paul started writing the languages that people in the lab could speak reasonably fluently on the whiteboard the other day. The list kept getting longer and longer - and ended up with 20! They are: English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Indonesian, Bahasa, Malay, German, French, Swedish, Finnish, Spanish, Catalan, Italian, Sardinian, Serbian, Russian, Afikaans and Hindi. So, if you need anything translated...

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!
