Thrilled to share that my paper is officially published at PNAS! So grateful to my collaborators, the ability to mentor students who became my co-authors, and to my mentor @nkoropatkin for her unending support!

Baby's first crosslinking experiment! 🔗 Left is untreated, right is formaldehyde-treated. How does it look?

@CCanimorsus Awesome to see this out! Super cool to see the differences between Bacteroidetes and E. coli pathways 🤯

📢📢📢 LIPOPROTEIN ALERT First description of LolAB in Bacteroidetes! Both not essential (‼️) but big effects on gliding, morphology, protein localization, & more! Also not interchangeable with E. coli LolAB despite structural similarities 🤯 Bacteroidetes physiology is WILD
I am happy to share with you our last work on lipoprotein transport in Bacteroidetes!

Does anyone have experience with myc-tag purification of proteins, particularly w/ detergent? My myc-tagged lipoprotein is almost completely in the flowthrough, very little binding. Sample is in 0.5% DDM for solubilization. Too much? Does myc purification tolerate detergent? 🆘🙏

This week I was confused why my Western didn't work. I later realized it was because I completely skipped adding my secondary. That was a first for me, it's never too late to make new mistakes!
