- Reposted by Beat FierzThe work of Xingyu Liu @xingyuliu9595.bsky.social in collaboration with Wei Cai in Beat Fierz @beatfierz.bsky.social group @lcbm-epfl.bsky.social and Anne-Sophie Chauvin on peptide-cyanoarenes used as photocatalysts is now accepted in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social ! doi.org/10.1002/anie...
- Our new study of chromatin ubiquitylation by variant PRC1 on the single-molecule scale: We visualize directly how vPRC1 ubiquitylates neighboring nucleosomes during a single binding event, showing a potential mechanism how H2Aub domains are established. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
- Congrats to @alexateslenko.bsky.social for the amazing work, and of course our colleagues @lcbm-epfl.bsky.social and EPFL for their support!
- Reposted by Beat FierzI am very happy to share that I was awarded a PhD fellowship from the Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds (BIF) for my project about nucleosome depletion in @lcbm-epfl.bsky.social with @beatfierz.bsky.social. Looking forward to joining the BIF community 😊🥳
- Reposted by Beat Fierz#SIRT7 is a histone deacetylase with highly specific activity on #chromatin substrates. We just published mechanism-based #cryoEM structures of #SIRT7 on nucleosomes to understand its activity 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41... (1/8) #ChemBio #ChemSky
- Don’t miss tomorrow's in-person #chembio seminar by Prof. Dr. Nina Hartrampf @ninahartrampf.bsky.social 👉 "New Methods for the Chemical Synthesis of Post-Translationally Modified Peptides and Proteins" ⏱️🇨🇭16:15 › 17:15 📢 bit.ly/3MOjVjy
- Reposted by Beat FierzAlways nice to share the ideas together! Many THX to who show interest and ideas in our project 🙏 If interested in TF target search, feel free to contact us 📧 @beatfierz.bsky.social @davidsuter.bsky.social THX to the EMBL travel grant for me to attend such great conference #EMBLOmics
- Reposted by Beat Fierz🎖️ Yesterday PhD #Benjamin won a presentation price at the LS2 sub-section meeting – nice recognition for his careful #DyeCycling work! 🟢🔴🧬 Many thanks to @beatfierz.bsky.social, #KatjaOdening & all for organizing! Also great to meet the 🇨🇭 community, #SimonScheuring, #ChanCao, #WayneYang ...👌
- Reposted by Beat FierzAre you looking for a PhD position in peptide synthesis, automation, and computational analysis? 🧪 💊💻 We have an open position for a collaborative PhD thesis (with Novo Nordisk). For more details, please see: jobs.uzh.ch/job-vacancie... ⏰ Application deadline = November 15
- Reposted by Beat FierzWant to see how PRC1 writes the Polycomb ubiquitin mark on chromatin, in real-time? Check out our latest preprint, done all by Alexandra Teslenko at ISIC EPFL, a tour-de-force of single-molecule enzymology! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
