I hope this Nobel Prize gets people talking meaningfully about our amazing immune systems and the importance of basic research to human health (and funding basic research).
I am also glad young women get to see that women can not only work at this level, but that those who do can get recognized.

Are the lipids associated with static protein structures there as long-lived ligands or an effect of preferential solvation? This computational-experimental framework shows the way! #lipidtime #compchem

Molecular basis for the regulation of membrane proteins through preferential lipid solvation - Nature Chemical Biology
Static protein structures can capture the association of lipids, but it is unclear whether the association is due to lipids acting as long-lived ligands or the solvation of preferred lipids around the protein. A computational-experimental framework has now shown that for the protein CLC-ec1, it is the change in lipid solvation energies that drives dimerization, with preferred lipids around the protein modulating this driving force.

Pretty sure everyone has seen it already, but if you are also late like me, here is an excellent lipidtime paper by @nadlerlab.bsky.social and Co. One step closer to understanding the spatiotemporal lipid diversity in cells!
Out today in @nature.com: Together with the Honigmann, Shevchenko, Drobot and Hof labs, we present a general workflow for imaging the localization and transport of individual lipids in cells and mapping their metabolism.
