🧪How does an ABC transporter 'know' nucleotides & substrates bound to far apart binding sites? Using 1H15N, 19F NMR, HDX-MS, PET-FCS & activity assays with Neuweiler, Marcoux, Orelle & Jault labs, we found a communication hinge! 😍🥳 @microverse.bsky.social @lifeprofile.bsky.social rdcu.be/ePm4C

Women and children among 15 killed in Gaza medical centre strike

Health authorities in Gaza have accused Israeli forces of killing women and children queuing for supplements and medicine near a medical centre in the strip.

Israel’s Defense Minister confirms the Israeli strike on Iran’s state broadcaster. He writes: “The Iranian regime’s propaganda and incitement broadcasting authority was attacked by the IDF.”

Israel's attack on Iran, yet another demonstration of its contempt for international law, was also a smokescreen for yet another step in the ethnic cleansing and annexation of the West Bank. Israel is laughing in the face of the West's fake support of the 2 state solution

Babies can only have milk. They can’t even have water. Since Israel is banning all aid including baby formula, these babies will die. And since Israel is also starving everyone in Gaza, moms can’t nurse their babies either. They’re just watching their babies die as they die to.

14,000 babies are at risk of dying in the next 48 hours in Gaza if aid doesn’t reach them, warns Tom Fletcher, the UN’s under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs – a figure he called “utterly chilling.” 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/x26ghx

So, for those killed and those whose voices are silenced: what more evidence do you need? Will you act now – decisively – to prevent genocide in Gaza and to ensure respect for international humanitarian law? This Council must prevail. Demand this ends.

Finally, it's out in Nat Commun! Excellent collaboration with my colleagues and friends in Frankfurt, especially @ihaenelt.bsky.social and Janet Vonck. This work demonstrates the role of the intrinsically disordered N-terminus of KtrAB in channel opening. Full story here: rdcu.be/elDYO

Sad news about Karen Davies' passing. Karen was an inspiration in bioenergetics and cryoET. Her pioneering postdoctoral work on ATP synthase and respiratory supercomplexes marked turning points in the field. I created Scholar profile to acknowledge her contribution scholar.google.com/citations?hl...
