🏆 2027 Protein Society Award Spotlight: Christian Anfinsen Award This award recognizes technological achievement or significant methodological advances in protein science. 👏 Congrats to 2026 recipient Paula Booth of King's College Nominations close Nov. 1: www.proteinsociety.org/awards-eligi...
🧬 Figure Friday! Can protein design make a challenging antibiotic target easier to study? Oliver Zerbe and colleagues created a soluble mimic of LptD, a bacterial membrane protein, that could help make this promising target more accessible for drug screening. (Fig. 1) #FigureFriday
🧬 Figure Friday Can a protein “helper” promote protein splicing? Chris Lennon and colleagues at Murray State University show that the chaperone GroEL stabilizes intein-containing proteins during heat stress, indirectly increasing splicing. #FigureFriday #ProteinScience
