Check out this cool thread on the latest preprint by Gaurav Kumar, @james-r-barrett.bsky.social, @phaips.vd.st from our lab and colleagues, dissecting the physics of Rubisco condensates!
You're in for some stunning #cryoET of the pyrenoid - in Chlamy, of course 😉
Congrats to all involved!

How does molecular valency shape condensate assembly and function? We used the CO2-fixing organelle in algae—the pyrenoid—to find out… 🧵

Check this new study on carbon concentration mechanisms!
See how the pyrenoid changes by modifying Rubisco linkers in our favorite alga, Chlamy 💚!
My desk mate @phaips.vd.st spent a lot of time collecting & carefully analyzing these beautiful tomograms 🔬.
Congrats to all the authors!
