Fibrillar adhesins, microbial adherence and crystallography.

Overjoyed to finally have our isopeptide bond paper out! If you're interested in the types of proteins and organisms that use a cool intramolecular covalent bond, check it out: bit.ly/4od3ux8 Plenty of future SynBio/EngBio applications planned! Thanks to all involved (character limits suck).

Happy to say that I have a preprint out! This one is a big step as it's my first last author paper. It focusses on assessing the distribution and key characteristics of intramolecular isopeptide bonds in nature, thanks to a really great collaborative effort: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A global survey of intramolecular isopeptide bonds

Many protein domains harbour covalent intramolecular bonds that enhance their stability and resistance to thermal, mechanical and proteolytic insults. Intramolecular isopeptide bonds represent one suc...
