Exploring life at the nanoscale
Our latest paper online: https://t.co/9XFVPrkiCd Here, @LWuerthner & Fridtjof Brauns of @PhysOfLifeLMU develop a model for multiscale patterns in spatially heterogeneous geometries. Greg Pawlik from our #CDlab confirmed this with experiments on Min protein patterns in a wedge. https://t.co/j9FRydQkT1

Now online in @NaturePhysics:
our #CDlab paper on a nanoscale rotary machine that we built, a simple DNA bundle that self-organizes into a rotor that autonomously rotates at 10 Hz, as driven by a flow through a nanopore. 🤩 See https://t.co/MX57UqKqbU https://t.co/rVR9hOplvm 
Latest #CDlab preprint at @bioRxiv: https://t.co/CEx0Oxncsi Here, we evaluate recent pseudotopological models for SMC-driven loop extrusion that attempted to explain the passage of large roadblocks into DNA loops that are extruded. Our data are found to not support these models https://t.co/jNJM5thwq3 
Latest #CDlab paper online now: https://t.co/pNqQj5BUt7 Here, Sabrina Meindlhumer,
@jacobkers and me developed a methodic toolbox to quantitatively analyze surface wave patterns of Min proteins – the fascinating Turing patterns that some bacteria use in cell division. https://t.co/MizIorsxDM 
WORK Obviously this also means that our #CDlab has now multiple openings for outstanding postdocs and PhD students! Feel free to contact: https://t.co/KYPrWGziVE https://t.co/iHx9DsVlAG
How about a reaction where a H and an Aryl moiety would exchange places? Sounds interesting? Then take a look @angew_chem, just accepted! #openaccess @FWFOpenAccess @AJF_Chem @lumieredelamont @Boehringer #CDLab https://t.co/54FulFhJsU https://t.co/3p4Nctn0V5 
Great teamwork done by @cees_dekker and #AlejandroGonzalez, @BisLightyear, #JacovanderTorre! It was such a fun time to work in #CDlab as a postdoc (3/3).
My postdoctoral work in #CDlab is finally out @NatureSMB! In this work, we used single-molecule imaging to study how condensin navigates the under- and overwound DNA states (DNA supercoiling) abundant throughout the genome (1/3). 👇👇👇 https://t.co/4wq0LbGGmD
Latest #CDlab online in @NatureSMB: https://t.co/iHQ33T7coT SMC proteins can extrude loops of DNA.
DNA is often supercoiled.
But how do these effects interplay? Using single-molecule visualization, 1st author @eugene_kim__ resolved how these 2 effects work together. 1/3 https://t.co/WUkdV89edc 
Latest #CDlab preprint on @biorxivpreprint: https://t.co/GpikqxZ8HZ This study led by 1ste author @AleksandreJapa, examines how the bacterial SMC complex MukBEF shapes chromosome architecture and segregation in E. coli cells, which we widened for these experiments.

Latest #CDlab paper online in @ScienceAdvances: https://t.co/trxKQzG92k Here, @TismaMilos discovered a new mechanism of how the bacterial protein ParB can recruit new ParB on DNA, independently of parS. This was a great collaboration with @Gruber_Lausanne
& @Dmichiel1 1/3 https://t.co/KHDHwjLMXU 
resonates well with our own #CDlab practices to attract postdocs and PhD students https://t.co/bHKR67LAzf
New #CDlab paper on @biorxivpreprint https://t.co/hiJ0USzXyP Here @martinholub_ @AnthonyBirnie et al develop protocols to take a genome from a bacterium, strip it from 97-100% of its binding proteins, and use it for biophysics experiments on megabasepair long DNA! #GenomeInABox https://t.co/AQVvfpRu7Z 
Our latest #CDlab paper online: https://t.co/wMcf2o9SZo Here, @AlessioFragasso combined experiments on biomimetic pores with MD simulations by
@deVriesHW from Patrick Onck’s lab to study how transport receptors are an essential part of the Nuclear Pore Complex

Our #CDlab ex-postdoc @mitashabharadw is nominated as ‘rising star’ https://t.co/ufSaIkxVsy
NB All this was teamwork (see above), but most credits go to 1st author @xinshi_d, who led this challenge as postdoc in our #CDlab Xin is on the job market now and will continue this work as tenure track assistant professor. I greatly recommend him, so get him while you can!

Today, we put 2 new #CDlab papers on the @arxiv preprint server – which both report, in different ways, on demonstrating nanoscale rotary motors that are driven by a flow through a nanopore. https://t.co/hs8tyxGXAd https://t.co/4UCIC4fqyt 1 / https://t.co/yoqBgia3H4 
So cool to meet these guys at the conference, from left to right: Derek Stein, (me,) @the_adam_hall, @KeyserLab Incredibly proud that these guys were postdocs in our #CDlab 15-20 years ago, and now professors at respectively Brown Univ, Virginia Tech/Wake Forest, Univ Cambridge! https://t.co/062ryMuoxi
