Matt and Andrew accepted fantastic job offers at CATALENT (R&D scientist, catalent.com) and the University of Milwaukee (postdoc with Prof. Erica Young), respectively. Congratulations!
Rayna and coworkers published a cover article in the Jounal of Physical Chemistry B showing that the bacterial ribosome enhances nascent-protein solubility but it is not sufficient to guarantee full structural accuracy of de-novo synthesized (and ribosome-released) proteins. This work also shows that kinetic channeling upon release from the ribosome is very sensitive to the amino acid sequence …
