Latest preprint from the lab, many years in the making! By combining #cryoEM with #AlphaFold3 modelling, we propose that norovirus NS3 forms a transmembrane RNA translocase. This could have big implications for our understanding of viral replication & assembly (🧵) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Think coronavirus spikes have run out of surprises? Think again. Our latest preprint dives into the highly unusual spikes of marine mammal coronaviruses. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... This #cryoEM study was led by @viralfusion.bsky.social, with key contributions from an amazing team.

I’m delighted that we could contribute the #cryoEM data to this incredible antiviral discovery project from the group of @neytsjohan.bsky.social 💊 "A coronavirus assembly inhibitor that targets the viral membrane protein" www.nature.com/articles/s41... A huge congrats to everyone involved! 🎉

More picornavirus research from us! 😄

Amazing science at the Science for Life meeting in Utrecht. The talk by Julia Mahamid was incredible; it most definitely helped me to secure a poster prize too!

Daniel Hurdiss@danielhurdiss.bsky.social · 2y ago

Had a great day at the 10th anniversary Science for Life meeting. My personal highlights were the incredible #cryoET talk from Julia Mahamid, and @bobcoelingh.bsky.social winning a poster prize! 🏆

Excited to share our first preprint of 2024! 🎉 researchsquare.com/article/rs-3... This study focuses on PDCoV, an emerging enteric pathogen. We generated anti-spike mAbs & investigated their inhibitory mechanisms using structural & functional studies. #virology #cryoEM
