Ever wondered if you could skip purification and do in silico purification of clarified lysate fractions from the images? Dmitry Semchonok and others from the Kastritis lab at the University of Halle answered that question successfully in this recent publication doi.org/10.1016/j.yjsbx.2023.1!

I regret to inform you that someone has spunked into a ~£6m electron microscope, all in the name of science.

I'm currently seeking work (contract or full-time). I'm a developer and system administrator with significant experience managing infrastructure and building tools for scientific and clinical work, most recently working with Python, Linux, and HPC systems supporting cryo-em.

I live in central Maryland and cannot relocate, so I have to stick to either relatively local areas or remote work.

Lovely bit of work this. 4 figures as well.

Wow: “In an operating range from 10 to 1000 ms, the device allows us to follow in vitro reactions of biological molecules at resolution levels in the range of 3 Å. By employing this method, we show for the first time the mechanism of progressive HlfX-mediated splitting of the 70S E. coli ribosome in the presence of the GTP, via capture of three high-resolution reaction intermediates within 140 ms.” —Bhattacharjee et al. 2023 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

As we come to the end of our Festival of Grids at , we have questions. Why is @cjrlab MRC LMB so good at Jenga? How can Adriana Klyszejko from Quantum Detectors Ltd. so accurately guess the number of grids? Why do I talk so much? Most importantly, is that a man dressed as a chameleon?? 😎 😍 We had a fabulous time introducing the world to HexAuFoil and Quantifoil Active for chameleon - looking forward to seeing you all again in Cleveland next year!
