Today, part of the team of the Institute of Chemistry and Biochemistry @fubcp.bsky.social enjoyed great food 🍽️ and discussions at Luise Dahlem before heading together to the university elections at FU Berlin.
Thanks to everyone who joined for the wonderful gathering! #ChemSky #BiochemSky #CampusLife

WORM EMERGENCY!!! Our -80 compressor is failing and we’re not sure what will happen to our worm stocks at the current temp (-45C). They’ve been at this temp for 16 hours and we’re contemplating reviving all strains not currently in use to save them, or move them to a new -80. Anyone have advice??

Dr. Dayoff and her logic behind the 1 letter amino acid abbreviations is the way to go when introducing proteinogenic amino acid nomenclature. However, it isn't how a biochemistry course should begin. Start with the meaning of life - avoiding equilibrium. #ChemSky #BiochemSky

THIS, fellow biology professors, THIS is how to start undergrad biochemistry - NOT with "memorize the side chains and DIE, scared premeds" (trust me, I have 31 years' of data on this watching biochem taught this way) but rather - with this!

I took biochem in 2001, and for nearly 20 years read amino acid sequences daily… and I never knew Dayhoff named them or even the logic behind things like Q until last Friday (h/t Mike Janech). Also, this is another big Dayhoff moment for me. She was incredible!

Check out some of the great work being done by our collaborators in the Schmeing lab in Biochemistry!
In partnership with the Canadian Light Source's beamline, they're examining the structure and workings of itaconate-degrading enzymes.
