Our latest publication on 14-3-3 protein tyrosine nitration is out now in Protein Science @ProteinSociety. Great job @ZhuChemBio and team!! Great structures with near-atomic detail to look at fine-tuned structural changes.
14-3-3s are such cool proteins, and still have ambiguous function given how many other proteins they interact with. If you like PTMs, too check out my latest pub in @ProteinSociety journal Protein Science! These were my first structures ever solved! doi.org/10.1002/pro.4574

Our pre-print on 14-3-3 oxidative stress and how it alters 14-3-3 protein structure and function is out now. A really great vignette on utilizing 2 GCE systems to tackle 1 biological problem.
