Major spliceosomal RNA secondary structures, interactions (PDB), evolutionary conservation (PhyloP & Rfam SEEDs), and disease associations (D’Souza et al 2026). All in one monstrously busy plot. 😁
The major spliceosomal RNAs layed around a circle: U1, U2, U4, U5 and U6. Blue arcs indicate secondary structures, orange and green arcs indicate RNA:RNA interactions between snRNA & mRNA respectively. RNA:protein interaction regions are indicated with arcs & purple labels. Variable sites associated with recessive or dominant disease are indicated with red or black triangles respectively (D'Douza et al 2026). The outer rings are heatmaps indicating evolutionary conservation from Rfam seed alignments (%identity) & maximum phyloP scores (phyloP447way).

Glutamate was Fmoc-derivatized to enhance absorption at A280. b–d, Evaluating the decaging reaction yield of Fmoc-1 (b), Fmoc-2 (c), Fmoc-3 (d) with 1 equivalent (eq) or 4 eq of DEA NONOate in PBS. The absorption (A280) of generated Fmoc-Glutamate and benzotriazoles were detected at the endpoint by HPLC-UV with a 5–95% gradient of methanol in H2O. The methoxy-substituted OPA-caged glutamate exhibited the highest reaction efficiency, with approximately 95% conversion (n = 3 independent experiments) when treated with 4 eq DEA NONOate. e, Reaction schematic of the NO-decaging progress of NO-responsive Aspartic acid. f–h, Evaluating the decaging reaction yield of 4 (f), 5 (g), 6 (h) with 2 eq of DEA NONOate in PBS. The absorption (A280) of generated benzotriazoles were detected at the endpoint by HPLC-UV with a 5–95 % gradient of methanol in H2O. The methoxy-substituted OPA-caged aspartic acid exhibited the highest reaction efficiency, with approximately 80% conversion when treated with 2 eq DEA NONOate.

I read Watson's book. There was a race for the DNA structure. Pauling was involved. Watson got in Franklin's desk when she was away (I think with Wilkins permission) and saw the helical x-ray picture of DNA. He knew immediatley it was helical. Crick worked out the structure with energy calculations.

📣 I am super thrilled to announce that during “Emerging Science Week” the MSAF subgroup of the Biophysical Society will run a webinar with three awesome speakers on “Lipids Feeling the World.” More info, including how you sign up, is contained in the ALT text of the image! Please share widely! đŸ§Ș
Lipids form the compartments that organize life. While doing so, they interact with an incredible variety of other molecules and supramolecular structures—things that touch the membrane on either side, are embedded inside, or simply want to get through. What are the chemical and biophysical principles that shape such interactions? How have biomembranes evolved to become such versatile interfaces to the world? In this webinar we will hear from three scientists who have examined questions of this kind from different directions, focusing on different molecules, and using different tools.

Speakers:

(1) Janice Robertson, Dept. of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, Washington University St. Louis, USA 
(2) Luca Monticelli, Molecular Microbiology and Structural Biochemistry, INSERM, Lyon, France 
(3) Rumiana Dimova, Biophysics Lab, Max-Planck-Institute for Colloids and Interfaces, Potsdam, Germany 

Here’s the link to register:

https://my.biophysics.org/Events/Calendar-Of-Events/Meeting-Home-Page?meetingid=4ea7bbbf-b695-f111-8075-6045bdff16f4

Attention: you’ll be asked to sign in or create an account. That’s just to keep track and send you an access link. YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO BE OR BECOME A BPS MEMBER!

To make these hidden phenomena measurable, we’ll take a "build it if it doesn’t exist" approach: multiscale microscopy, high-throughput force manipulation and molecular biophysics tools. We’ll bring experiments, theory and computation together across biophysics, engineering and ocean science. 5/8

Structural biologists study the mechanisms that underpin damage to and repair of the genome, the way that these genetic changes lead to cancer, and ways for us to use this knowledge to discover and develop new treatments to fight cancer. More at PDB-101:

I got a Pfizer booster about a month ago from my City Health Department, not knowing whether or not I would continue to be able to get them. My preference is the protein subunit based Novavax/Nuvaxovid/Sanofi, because, (according to some of the reports I've read) it has longer lasting effect.

IMO the field suffers with nomenclature. No connection is made between highly homologous proteins because most scientists are lay in the area of protein structure. So there’s a general (willful) ignorance of due diligence. But as others (maybe Phil) have pointed out there’s always AI. ;)
