🔥 Two excellent speakers at this week's GBM Lunch Talk - join them online! 🔥 #biochemistry #bioenergetics
Save the date: 64th #GBMLunch on March 29, Guenter Fritz @UniHohenheim on „Salted bioenergetics, how works a redox-driven Na+ pump?” and @stripp_lab on “Complex Hydrogenases Catalyze Electron Bifurcation and Energy Extraction out of Thin Air”, more info at gbm-online.de/gbm-lunch.html
Want to have fun with cyanobacteria? Postdoc position available - join the CYFUN team @nowalab - apply here jobs.uni-rostock.de/jobposti… please RT
It starts today. You can still register. Great lineup of speakers!
Join us for the symposium "Perspectives in Bioenergetics", organized by the @GBM_eV. Abstract submission is still open until August 15th 📃 You can register at tinyurl.com/Gbm-bioenergetic… - see you there!
Woohoo! Our paper about the structure and function of a Photosystem II biogenesis intermediate is now out in Nature Plants 🥳(dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41477-02…). Thanks again to @SchullerJm, @bengeliscious and the whole team for this awesome collaboration! #photosynthesis #CryoEM
We are delighted to share our preprint on the structure and function of a photosystem II (PSII) biogenesis intermediate, which contains three assembly factors (Psb27, Psb28 and Psb34).

#cryoEM structure of monomeric PSI reveals red chlorophyll cluster. Great collaboration with Genji Kurisu's lab @osaka_univ. Special thanks to @AnnaFra80469247, @orkun_coruh and @grk2341 nature.com/articles/s42003-0…
Thanks! The small single transmembrane helix protein Psb34 shares some sequence similarity with HLIPs but the Chl binding motif is missing.
Thanks Alexey! It took us a while to dive into that complex and to unravel its molecular details. Awesome teamwork with @SchullerJM and all the others!
Our PSII-I cryo-EM structure reveals the first molecular snapshot of PSII biogenesis and provides clear mechanistic insights into PSII assembly but there are still LOTS OF THINGS TO DO 😀
