We measured the digestion speed of endonucleases and CRISPR-Cas9 using a solid-state glass nanopore (nanopipette). Quick details below (open access!):

Today Tiffany and Nan from the Leeds team showcased some of RiboCode's outreach materials at the @ScienceLeeds Faculty Research Celebration.
A brilliant day celebrating the inspiring science and innovation happening across FBS.
Thanks for inviting us!

Just over a week to go until the Ribosome Wind Garden pops up in Sheffield's Winter Garden 👀
Our bodies are full of proteins, but how are they made?
See how we utilised kinetic sculptures in a wind garden to visualise how ribosomes translate genetic information into proteins.

❗️Our Sheffield RiboCoders are busy preparing for #FOTM2024
A collaboration with artist @ChrisJarratt will help visitors visualise how ribosomes translate genetic
information into proteins using kinetic sculptures in a wind garden.
📅 Sept 19-29, Sheffield Winter Garden
📢The wait is over - we’re back!
With over 40 FREE events, #FOTM2024 will see @sheffielduni researchers work with local creatives to bring our pioneering research to life through immersive exhibitions, films, performances & more.

🗨️👥While you're there, why not head over to the Spiegeltent @ Barker's Pool on Sept 20 13:30-14:30 to join Chris and @ThomsonRNALab for a live Q&A?
🎨If that's not enough, the team will hold a family-friendly sculpture workshop on Sept 28 13:00-15:00 @ Sheffield Winter Garden
Our RiboCoders had a brilliant time at #TLUK2024
@BiochemSoc this week!
Well done to @RNA_julie on a fantastic keynote and to @Jo__Cunningham, @Ribo_Karl, Tessa Chan and Bulat Fatkhullin for introducing their work on #specialisedribosomes

Delighted to share our new pre-print on translational activity of 80S monosomes. @AlbertBlandy @EltonVasconcel8 @AmyTurn67763683 @LabFontana @MichaelaAgapiou Thanks to @BBSRC and @wellcometrust. Great for this work to benefit from @RiboCode team input biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Happily, 76% visitors left stating that they knew how proteins were made (vs 9% beforehand)🎉
Thanks to all who volunteered on the stall and to the #BeCurious team for their hard work in putting on such a brilliant festival!

We had a great time @BeCuriousLeeds this weekend!
~180 budding scientists visited our stall, matching up custom-made base pairs and using our ribosome wheel to turn their code into a (key)chain of amino acids.

Come and join us in Michael Sadler LG 15 10:00-16:00, and discover lots of other brilliant stalls across @UniversityLeeds
The first hour will be a designated 'quiet hour'.
