2/🧵 - Hib adds to the growing list of archaeal ribosome hibernation factors, alongside recently identified Dri and aRDF. It is detected in all major archaeal lineages, representing about 47% of all genomes.
First ribosome purification using poly-lysine beads (RAPPL, developed by @djuranoviclab.bsky.social & collaborators: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...). Full process—from lysis to grid prep—in just 3 hours. Look how pretty it is (even if a bit too diluted)! This is a game-changer🚀.
