#glycotime Out now in GLYCOBIOLOGY! Very chuffed to see this out as it's our first Glycan work !!! doi.org/10.1093/glycob… Thanks to @RamrayB @hurryram @PenmatsaLab for discussions and insights! Also, thanks to @AnneImberty & @GlycobiologyUK for the smooth editorial process.
#glycotime The availability of physiologically unaltered Lili-Mip structure (in vivo crystals solved by @hurryram group) made it a very attractive model system to investigate the role of glycans on protein structure, dynamics, and function using MD sims. tinyurl.com/glycanMD


jbc.org/article/S0021-… Out now in @jbiolchem. Had a wonderful time working with @ShovamayeeMaha and @Sangeethayoga, who did all the heavy lifting !! Would like to acknowledge @India_Alliance, NSM (HPC grant @IndiaDST) @SankhyaSutraLab @DBTIndia @iiscbangalore @MBU_IISc
In our recent work, we provide high-resolution structural insights into the RNA-FUS binding. @Sangeethayoga and I are having a blast collaborating with FUS Zen master @ShovamayeeMaha @RNALab_Maharana :-) (Preprints link) tinyurl.com/RNAFUS-AAMD Salient findings in thread below
