How does the hERG channel inactivate so rapidly. Our latest paper on the #CryoEM structure of an inactivated hERG channel is out now in @NatureComms Read here: rdcu.be/dSkIY @VictorChangInst

Beautiful hERG structures from the @VandenbergJamie lab and simulations from Toby Allen’s lab @RMIT reveal the structural basis of hERG’s fast inactivation. A labour of love of my good friend Mark Hunter and the great @CarusL for many years- enjoy!! researchsquare.com/article/r…

Building a protein model on the @LKGGlass Now I can see how the side chains interact in 3D! Still need some tweaking to make it more usable but looking good

This is fun. @LKGGlass portrait looking good out of the box with @UCSFChimeraX Will be more fun if I have the @ultraleap controller

#PaulKornerSeminar speaker @CarusL : "Proteins are three-dimensional objects. We use #3DPrinting to fabricate protein models which we can interact with using our hands and let us better understand their structure and function.”

Any lab want to hire a "food illustrator" if I don't get funded after the pandemic?

With 3 hours of commute saved each day finally I have some time to upgrade my computer and also switch to Fusion 360 for designing my parts. So much better than Sketchup.

Was planning to make an animated poster but unfortunately couldn’t get it done in time for #LorneProteins so I am stuck with my 3D printed poster this year
