🚨Attention diderm enthusiasts 🦠🧫! Want to see the TolQR motor structure? Or why TolA is so alpha-helical? Or what happens when you mutate the centre of TolA to an intrinsically disordered sequence? Read our new paper for all this and more! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…

Now published! Congrats to @WeeBoon5 again! Read the final version at

Super excited to share our latest work on the bacterial Tol-Pal complex by the brilliant @WeeBoon5! We can (finally) confidently assign the true function of Tol-Pal in maintaining OM lipid homeostasis, independent of its role in cell division! Here's how Wee Boon did it 👇 1/7

🚨JOE ROGAN: "People are worried that Elon is going to steal everyone's money. He has $400B. Elon's not going to steal your money. That's not what he's doing. He's a super genius that has been f**ked with. When you've been f**ked with by these nitwits that hide behind 3-letter agencies, and you're dealing with one of the smartest people alive helping Donald Trump get into office and find out what corruption is really going on, you f**ked up.
You f**ked up and picked the wrong psychopath on the spectrum. He's going to hunt you down and find out what's going on, and that's good for everybody. That's how you should be looking at this, like 'Wow, we have a brilliant mind examining these really corrupt and goofy systems and bringing in a bunch of psychopath wizards."

New preprint 🚨: with @Mariusz78897208 we found that the Bacteroidetes beta-barrel assembly machinery is quite different to E. coli. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #cryoEM
ALT Comparison of B. theta and E. coli BAM complexes. Only BamAD components are shared, and B. theta BAM has five novel components, BamF-J.
