Adaptation of DNA to Protein Binding Revealed by Spectroscopy and Molecular Simulation DNA demonstrates remarkable structural diversity, transitioning between conformations such as B-DNA and A-DNA under specific environmental or protein-binding conditions. These transitions are relevant...

When a protein binds to DNA, it can locally change the DNA. We characterized such a process with molecular simulation and spectroscopy in our recent publication. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Global 3D model of mantle attenuation using seismic normal modes - Nature Using whole-Earth oscillations to constrain a 3D global model of attenuation for the whole mantle, low attenuation correlates with low velocity in the lower mantle, suggesting long-lived deep-man...

Great new Nature paper from my Utrecht seismology colleagues on the physical properties of the enigmatic LLSVPs!

Here, we used the first whole-mantle 3D attenuation model to interpret the longevity & viscosity of the large low velocity provinces (LLSVPs). To explain our observations the #LLSVPs need to be not only hotter but also have larger mineral grains, in contrast to their surroundings

Very excited to share the culmination of a 5-year journey, now published in @nature.com. We built the first-ever 3D attenuation model for the whole mantle! This was a collaboration between @uugeo.bsky.social, @mitpress.bsky.social and @vassar.bsky.social!

It’s @sujania.bsky.social’s paper, just saw she’s on Bluesky 😁
