It has been great to be part of this team, thank you to everyone involved!
I am very grateful to @lorneproteins.bsky.social for the opportunity to speak and share my work! Such a great atmosphere, thank you for the warm welcome and excellent questions.
🌀 We solved the structure for T. denticola periplasmic flagella!
I'm very happy to finally showcase this work. A huge collaborative effort between myself, @bindusmitapaul.bsky.social, @debnathghosal.bsky.social, Jack Kim, @banfieldlab.bsky.social, Eric Reynolds and the Chris Fenno lab.
🦠 Enjoy!
Wonderful spirochete asymmetric flagellar structural work by @lucatroman.bsky.social Grateful to be part of the story supported by @debnathghosal.bsky.social
My first manuscript in MPI colours! With @tothpetroczylab.bsky.social, we show that AlphaFold PAE-derived contact probabilities are well calibrated to the fraction of true interface contacts across experimentally determined protein dimers.

S3: Luca Troman-Spirochete flagellar motors rotate in opposite directions; periplasmic flagella are more complex.
