10.2025 Press release: "Flexibility is function: How unstructured protein segments regulate biological functions" Read the article from the Leipzig University Magazine here.
11.2024 Our work "A Generic Residue Numbering Scheme for the GAIN Domain of adhesion G protein-coupled receptors" has just been accepted for publication in Nature Communications. The GAIN domain is a hotspot for pathological mutations. However, the low primary sequence conservation of GAIN domains has thus far hindered the knowledge transfer across different GAIN domains in human receptors as well as species orthologs. To overcome this obstacle, we developed the GAIN-GRN scheme in collaboration with the David Gloriam Laboratory at Copenhagen University that enables researchers to generate hypothesis and rationalize experiments related to GAIN domain function and pathology.
