New preprint on 3D heterochromatin architecture in human cells! Great collab with @sergiocruzleon.bsky.social & @johannesbetz.bsky.social from @hummerlab.bsky.social, @marinalusic.bsky.social & the Turoňová lab. Many thanks to my supervisor @becklab.bsky.social. bioRxiv: tinyurl.com/3a74uanv 🧵👇

Lastly, I want to give massive credit to @bradyajohnston.bsky.social , who built Molecular Nodes, and made it possible to generate such beautiful renderings for the website.

Some very cool simulations, look at those little guys climb that ladder! #MolecularNodes

Excited to share this paper from @yiechanglin.bsky.social showing how lipids can move between bacterial membranes along the bridge like protein TamB. Also happy to be able to post the cool movie. 🎥🌟 #MDsimulations #StructuralBiology doi.org/10.1016/j.bp...

New preprint. In S. sanguinis, a C5a peptidase-like protease (ScpH) polymerizes along eDNA, turning it into a catalytic biofilm scaffold. Great work from @robinanger.bsky.social in our lab, with Pelicic lab @lcbofficiel.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Thrilled to share the updated video of my paper in Nature with Maciej (under supervision of @simonemattei.bsky.social & @jomaalab.bsky.social) Proud to use Cryo-ET to uncover how hibernation factors are key to translation restart! To model PTMs in situ and render animations fulfilled my PhD dream!🥹🎉

Despite its name, SNOR, a newly discovered protein, is hardly asleep on the job. EMBL researchers’ newest technologies allowed their scientific collaboration to discover a tiny protein with a big role in awakening cells from dormancy to restart protein synthesis. www.embl.org/news/science...

#GeometryNodes will have a new Sample Sound Frequencies node in Blender 5.2. It allows creating animations and simulations based on audio data without having to use non-procedural workarounds. #b3d #devfund

The cartwheel was first visualized ~70 years ago in the symbiont Trichonympha in the wood termite gut. We’ve discovered the cartwheel’s secret: a unique zigzag stacking of SAS-6 tetramers that facilitates the iconic 9-fold symmetry of cilia. #cellbiology #teamtomo #SAS6 #cartwheel

1) The Herzik lab is excited to announce our newest preprint in collaboration with the Grotjahn lab! We have developed a surfactant cocktail that seeks to overcome one of the more nefarious problems in #cryoEM, Air-water interface (AWI)-induced damage and preferred orientation (PO).

Check out our new cover art, made by the talented @markahix.bsky.social ! It highlights orbital mixing of a low barrier hydrogen bond that spans the dimer interface of YajL. Small changes tune LBHB character in homologue DJ1. With a point mutation it appears! pubs.acs.org/toc/bichaw/6...

At #bps2026 : I loved the special acknowledgement of the @rcsbpdb.bsky.social and the MANY researchers who generated the experimental macromolecular structures that made it possible to build AI models for structure prediction.

You can create images like this in a couple minutes using 100% free software. Check out tutorials by @bradyajohnston.bsky.social

PyMol + Blender is cool. Learned this from @bradyajohnston.bsky.social

💪 NEW VIDEO: Flying over the A-band of an atomic-scale model of a vertebrate muscle sarcomere. Let's explore the molecular mechanics that make your muscles work. Rendered using @bradyajohnston.bsky.social 's molecular nodes Model based on the incredible work of the @raunser-lab.bsky.social lab

Weekend well spent learning Blender and Molecular Nodes by the great @bradyajohnston.bsky.social My first animation: "Interpretation of NRC2 resistosome assembly on the plasma membrane"

Happy to share our new preprint today! And it looks so nice that I couldn't help myself and made a little video 📺 Great teamwork as always Prof. @medbioinorgchem.bsky.social Prof. Gagliardi, Dr. Wragg and Julia Stebani! Check it out here: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr... Hope you like it a lot!

Day 15 of making proteins for #ArtAdventCalendar The PhotoSystem II supercomplex in plants contains light-gathering antenna complexes (yellow). More antennas means better photosynthesis in low-light conditions (like the version shown with SIX antennas). More projects: e-nox.net/portfolio/ #SciArt

Day 2 of #ArtAdventCalendar Today's new protein is Arc, a protein found in the brain, which can form icosahedral capsids (like viruses) containing its Arc mRNA cargo. They are linked to regulation of synaptic plasticity and forming long-term memories. More projects: e-nox.net/portfolio/ #SciArt

How do trypanosomes evolve resistance to sleeping sickness drugs? Mutations in TbAQP2 🔵 can block melarsoprol and pentamidine 🟠 from entering the cell. It was a pleasure to create this animation for Simone Weyand. Read more here: elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre... #blender #b3d #animation #science

Proteins are dynamic structures, but structural biology often shows them as static snapshots. Inspired by long-exposure photography and generative art, I built ProteinCHAOS, an artistic tool inspired by molecular dynamics to capture protein flexibility over time, much like long-exposure images.

If there is big biotech announcement happening, #MolecularNodes is being used for it. I only had the realisation in the past day, but it's strange to have my software very quickly become the visual face for $100M announcements and massive scientific breakthroughs.

I am thrilled to release ProteinDJ: a high-performance and modular protein design pipeline. Our open-source workflow incorporates #RFdiffusion, #ProteinMPNN, #FAMPNN, #AlphaFold2 and #Boltz-2. It is a fast, free, and fun way to design proteins (1/5) doi.org/10.1101/2025.09.24.678028 #proteindesign

Also, shoutout to @blender.org and @bradyajohnston.bsky.social for making it so easy to turn protein structures into nice images! 5/5

so proud to share @jhuapl.bsky.social neuroscience research at #blenderconference2025 @blender.org ❤️ also shoutout to #microscopynodes by @aafkegros.bsky.social, here's to awesome new collabs born at blendercon!!!
