Oh what a lovely idea! I got inspired and made one with pictures from our #chemsky lab 🤗 🏳️‍🌈

Pride Flag made from snippets of lab photos: red crystals or Cobalt complex, orange liquid in round bottom flask, yellow tubes, green chunky Crystals of iron(IV) complex, blue agar plates from CAS assay for siderophores, and purple star shaped crystals. Black and white crystals, numbers from bioinformatics pipeline, fluorescent baby blue substance, pink holmium oxide, clear reagent tubes, yellow bubbly liquid, purple ring with crystals. Right corner it reads @Daumannlab

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

A [Cu-4Fe-4S] cluster? Yep, you read that right! We report a new bioinorganic motif in an acetol dehydrogenase and characterized it with our wonderful collaborators from @ribesresearch.bsky.social @lmu.de @cutsail-lab.bsky.social @ksgchem.bsky.social @mpi-mr.bsky.social @hhu.de 🧪 #chemsky

#chemsky here is our recent preprint on cyclic lanthanide-binding peptides. @sophieguti.bsky.social @hhu.de and our collaborators @hzdr.bsky.social and @kit.edu have put in an immense amount of analytical work to understand binding in these peptides. Check it out! We even snuck some #curium in 🤓🧪

Let’s Get Cyclic – Influence of Head-to-Tail Cyclisation of Lanmodulin-inspired peptides on Lanthanide Affinity and Structure

Over the recent years lanthanide-binding proteins such as lanmodulin, a naturally lanthanide-binding EF-hand protein from Methylorubrum extorquens AM1, as well as protein-inspired lanthanide-binding peptides have become of increasing interest for the development of separation and recycling methods for rare earth elements. For the first time, a set of head-to-tail cyclised lanmodulin-inspired peptides and their complexation behaviour towards lanthanides was comprehensively examined in aqueous media using time-resolved laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies, complemented by molecular dynamic (MD) simulations and advanced mass spectrometry methods. Results obtained from this multi-method approach evidence that the head-to-tail cyclisation can indeed increase the lanthanide-affinity in natural sequences and positively impact the pre-organisation of the metal-free peptide while limiting the amount of formed complex species in comparison to linear analogues. Furthermore, the impact of minimal sequence alterations by inserting glycine is shown to be useful in NMR experiments for probing alterations in the local environment of neighbouring amino acids potentially involved in coordination. Lastly, KD values for the peptides with the whole Ln series (except Pm) and the actinide curium are presented.

#Wisskon25 - Simone und ich hatten super viel Spaß dabei @munichsoapbox.bsky.social zu vertreten und das Projekt bekannter zu machen😎🥼 Danke @nawik.de für die Möglichkeit! Vielleicht gibt es in ein paar Jahren ja Soapbox Science Events in ganz Deutschland?😍🤔

Soapbox Science. Was passiert, wenn man Kinder bittet, Wissenschaftler:innen zu malen? Anfang der 1980er wurden zu fast 100% Männer gemalt. Es hat sich gebessert zum Glück #wisskon25

Hope is not something I feel frequently right now, so yesterday was a very special day. I had the privilege to spend the day with the #CASFutureLeaders - meeting each of these brilliant scientists who are changing the world through their leadership and outreach was so uplifting and inspiring!
