Images of molecular models of ALG3 and ALG9 proteins with substates bound.

I’m very excited to share some newly published work that uncovers the molecular basis for oligomannose synthesis!

A porin-like protein used by bacterial predators defines a wider lipid-trapping superfamily - Nature Communications This study reveals that an outer membrane protein from the predator Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus forms a pentameric assembly that traps a lipid monolayer within. This allows the discovery of two superfa...

The mechanisms used by the bacterial predator Bdellovibrio never cease to amaze me:

A paper well worth a read.

This is great!! 😀

Honoured and very excited to be a recipient of the AMS Springboard Award 2025. This award will support us in unravelling the complex role of glycans in neurological disorders @unisouthampton.bsky.social 🔬🧠 #Springboard25
