A team at our institute discovered how to prevent ribosomes from occasionally shifting by one “letter” while reading vaccine mRNA, an error that produces unintended proteins with unknown properties. www.mpinat.mpg.de/5342172/rn_2... 📷: total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy of ribosomes

Dear researchers, which tool do you use to compare protein 3D structures? The new distance-based algorithm LoL-align is more sensitive, more accurate & 5-20 times faster than established tools! Published in @natmethods.nature.com & explained in our research news: www.mpinat.mpg.de/5343581/rn_2...

Very happy to see this paper published! Got an excellent batch of monomeric photosystem I prepared by 1st author Jelena Boyka: the microscopy and image processing were a breeze (also thanks to the excellent #cryoEM facilities at @uu.se and @scilifelab.se). doi.org/10.1007/s111...
