Hello new followers! 👋 I'm a structural biologist 🧶🧬 currently having fun with unusual kinds of protein crystallography 💎 at Diamond Light Source. 😀 But my 3 years are almost over... 😢 So I'm looking for a lab-based biochemistry job 🧪 in the Oxford area. If you have any leads, please get in touch! 😁

Iris in CCP4i2 is very useful to find amino acid residues that are particularly more mobile at room temperature than in cryogenic conditions! #protein #crystallography 🧪 @glycojones.bsky.social I assume that's not the use you had in mind when leading its development? 😁 🧶🧬

Making this green protein has been pretty great 🧪 Easy to find it and estimate concentration! But can you guess WHY it's green? 😋 🧶🧬

Blink and you might miss it moving! The Scorpion is my current favourite instrument. It can make my 96 conditions (2D gradient of concentrations) in half an hour. And look SUPER COOL doing it! 😆 #crystallography 🧪

I inherited some dissolved metals from my colleague Peter Smyth and I think they're very pretty 🤩 We use them for long cultures of bacteria, so they don't run out of metal ions when making our favourite proteins 😊
