Here’s a super adorable cartoon of Agya and Herra made by the Beal lab resident artist, Kevin Pham! Together, Agya and Herra had been optimizing the purification of ADAR1 p110 and figured they should name their collaboration as Team Coomassie Blues Clues (LOL!).
Check out this really cool paper by Erin and Xander in JACS! Great job, guys!
Rational Design of RNA Editing Guide Strands: Cytidine Analogs at the Orphan Position
Check out this cool paper about the effect of acidification on ADAR activity! Well done Erin and Vandana on this collaborative work with the Emeson lab!
Congratulations to our three lab members who won poster awards during the recently concluded Miller Symposium!
Agya Karki – Best Graduate Student Poster
Herra Grajo – ACS Biochemistry Poster Award
Erin Doherty – Accounts of Chemical Research Poster Award
Good job, everyone!
Hats off to Erin for being the runner up for the Best Student Talk at the 2nd International Base Editing Conference (Deaminet 2021) last January 24-25. Erin did an awesome job describing her work on the rational design of oligonucleotide guide strands for site directed RNA editing by ADARs!
Congratulations Kevin and co-authors on their new publication, “Ester modification at the 3′ end of anti-microRNA oligonucleotides increases potency of microRNA inhibition.” Read the full text here!
Check out SeHee’s paper about a novel second zinc-binding site in ADAR1 here! Congratulations, SeHee and co-workers!
