Excited to be presenting this work today at the 3DEM Gordon Research Seminar and later this week at the Gordon Research Conference. Looking forward to the discussions and feedback!

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.
📣 New paper alert! This is a story of molecular tricks that let spirochetes (spiral-shaped bacteria) drill through tissue. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Wonderful spirochete asymmetric flagellar structural work by @lucatroman.bsky.social Grateful to be part of the story supported by @debnathghosal.bsky.social
🌀 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!
New paper alert!! We just discovered a new filament system that is widespread exclusively within CPR bacteria! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6.... Short thread below. 🦠🔬🚀

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.
