Enjoy hiking🥾, running🏃, playing the guitar 🎸and contemplating about the molecules of life 🥼 Postdoc in Lewis Kay and Julie Forman-Kay Labs. Opinions my own.
Check out Nick & @roesslph.bsky.social work on nucleosome electrostatics! More to come shortly 👀 #NMRchat
NMR-Based Measurements of Site-Specific Electrostatic Potentials of Histone Tails in Nucleosome Core Particles
Electrostatics play a dominant role in guiding many biological processes. This is especially the case in the context of chromatin, where charge interactions modulate diverse activities such as DNA rep...
