Latest #CDlab news

Hey, a non-corona tweet! Here’s our latest paper ‘Interplay between Confinement and Drag Forces Determine the Fate of Amyloid Fibrils’ in @PhysRevLett, nice work of Raffaele Mezzenga lab where our #CDlab contributed microstructuring by Sandro Japaridze: https://t.co/fYVYg8bGpg https://t.co/xrK1ySzQy4

This afternoon we ate cakes at our #CDlab brought by postdoc Sabina Caneva who accepted an offer to start as an independent assistant professor at @tudelft3mE Congrats Sabina! #OntotheCanevaLab https://t.co/HCAD4bV9S9

This website provides nice background info on the paper that our #CDlab published today in @Nature : https://t.co/cjVi1D3UJ4 and the attached animation sketches a cartoon view of the formation of Z loops (or check this for over-the-top dramatic sound: https://t.co/8OwZcjHpgW ) https://t.co/RfOBhiDwAl

Many surprises on SMC proteins in this @Nature #CDlab paper: https://t.co/groBGv2QYz : – DNA loops can mutually exchange size. – Condensins can pass one another! – to form totally new type of ‘Z-loops’ – that can fill DNA gaps – and can form a symmetric DNA-pulling dimer motor https://t.co/cJJfYVC8kO

Just released: Our latest #CDlab paper in @Nature! “DNA-loop extruding condensin complexes can traverse one another” https://t.co/groBGv2QYz We’re proud on this cool discovery of a new type of DNA loops (Z loops) by postdoc @eugene_kim__, in this collaboration with #HaeringLab https://t.co/YwhP61j0Ig

Our latest paper on @biorxivpreprint solves a long-standing question: How do in vitro Min-protein Turing patterns relate to the in vivo pole-to-pole Min oscillations in cells? https://t.co/kOhISDyjlU Great collaboration of #CDlab with @PhysOfLifeLMU https://t.co/IA7gHCrlZm

Yes! Federico is Dr. Fanalista now. Here’s the proud young doctor with the committee, right after his excellent defence. A great day for the #CDlab. https://t.co/DLZCE4xWvh

Quiet nice: Since 2015, our very international #CDlab group maintains a ‘Dutch word of the week’ which is featured in our office corner. A tradition started by @DrJorine and maintained by @jacobkers https://t.co/Hg53gDYGaG

“Comparing Current Noise in Biological and Solid-State Nanopores” Our latest #CDlab paper out now in @acsnano: https://t.co/Dhx3Obe4He We review the types of noise in nanopores and how to optimise signal-to-noise ratio. By @AlessioFragasso and @sciSonja and yours truly. https://t.co/KQjlR5G5rh

As promised, here is a thread on the simulations in our preprint on the artificial FG-Nucleoporin “NupX”. Together with @AlessioFragasso & @cees_dekker from #CDLab (1/n) https://t.co/j0ZionJRYZ

The preprint of our upcoming paper is out! #bioRxiv #CDlab Here we reconstituted the basic functionality of nuclear transport using a bottom-up designed protein ‘NupX’. https://t.co/cVhwEKc6Ku

Latest paper of #CDlab on @biorxivpreprint: A designer FG-Nup that reconstitutes the selective transport barrier of the Nuclear Pore Complex https://t.co/Nm78NZzrJa Title says it all: We design a protein ‘NupX’ from scratch that can constitute the essentials of the NPC. #amazing https://t.co/r4uPfHRkee

Final speaker coming straight from @Boehringer : Andreas Gollner! #skylounge @univienna #cdlab https://t.co/CmTseUvEcE

Our latest #CDlab paper on SMCs now on @biorxivpreprint: https://t.co/7bWAFHtHXu ‘AFM images of open and collapsed states of yeast condensin suggest a scrunching model for DNA loop extrusion’ AFM thus reveals the intriguing motor mechanism of SMCs that drive DNA loop extrusion https://t.co/n7ijmHx0B4

Our latest #CDlab preprint: a review comparing noise in biological and solid-state nanopores, by #AlessioFragasso, @sciSonja and myself: https://t.co/SiiNR0KhxJ Surprising conclusions: MspA biological pores have lowest noise but solid-state SiN pores have best signal-to-noise. https://t.co/M4MaOA4Loy

ParB proteins loading SMCs on a Bacillus subtilis genome. A macro version of my project as a gift for the Sinterklaas at #CDlab https://t.co/63Y9Bz1t5r
