Wonder what Angus MacGyver would think of our #cryoEM Dewar drying cycle setup @mpibp.bsky.social 🤔(lowest heat gun setting a little hotter than desired).

How do 2 meters of DNA fit inside a nucleus you can barely see? 🧬 Our new study mapped individual nucleosomes inside human cells.

What is the best way to distribute the electron dose across your tilt series in cryo ET? Thanks to Maarten Tuijtel, we finally know --> head over to eLife for the publication! doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

1/3: We are excited to share a new study by Maarten Tuijtel from @becklab.bsky.social, published in eLife. 🔬 🎉 The work addresses a key question in cryo-electron tomography: how to best distribute the limited electron dose across a tilt series while balancing angular sampling and image quality. 💥

3/3: Across reconstruction, template matching, and subtomogram averaging, datasets acquired with 1°, 2°, and 3° all performed robustly—with 3° tilt steps showing the best performance in final refinement. @elife.bsky.social 📄 Read the full study: 👉 elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

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 🧵👇

Thought I had discovered a new #cryoEM “hole size gradient” feature. Turns out E.coli in ice creates optical illusions ☹️. Or it’s just me hallucinating.

Wouldn’t be surprised if this is what we’ll find at a German-run train station on planet Mars one day 🚀🚇

It's finally out now in @natcomms.nature.com! We used cryo-EM + simulations to watch the Na⁺/H⁺ antiporter NhaA in action across a wide range of pH—and uncover how pH, Na⁺ binding, and structural changes are coupled. Read here 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Better vitrification = better cryo-ET. We've opened an RFA for two-year grants to advance vitrification techniques for biological samples—welcoming applications from researchers in heat transfer, cryogenics, and materials science. Apply here: bit.ly/4uip6eJ

@mgflast.bsky.social showing us how to do cellular structural biology on easymode thanks to his collection of pretrained nets 😎 Particularly cool: he demonstrates custom tomo picking workflows e.g. yTuRC at the minus end of MTs, restricting picks to specific cellular compartments Check it out!
