These enzymes are promising candidates for various biotechnological applications, including producing alternative fuels and pharmaceuticals. Oftentimes, the innate complexity of these metalloenzymes prohibits a true appreciation of their full capability and a detailed understanding of their structure-function relationships. One approach to alleviating this issue is to design artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) that still contain the metal of interest in a biomolecular environment, allowing the chemistry to be performed in aqueous media. The protein scaffold prevents unwanted side reactions. In addition, the protein environment allows one to alter outer sphere interactions to fine-tune their reorganization energies and reactivity. In this seminar, I will present two complementary approaches to designing Ni and Cu-containing ArMs – artificial hydrogenases and artificial C-H peroxidation catalysts utilizing protein reengineering and de novo protein design approaches. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2026 08:24:37 -0000 From: "Kay Diederichs" Subject: [phenixbb] DECTRIS assumes stewardship of XDS To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" DECTRIS, a major manufacturer of X-ray and electron detectors, has assumed official stewardship of XDS. As most readers of this mailing list used globally in macromolecular crystallography to process raw diffraction data. The software plays a critical role in helping structural biologists determine the 3D structures of complex biomolecules. By taking over its management, DECTRIS guarantees the long-term maintenance, stability, and compatibility of this scientific tool. A primary goal of the corporate stewardship is to ensure long-term availability, and scientific reproducibility of results. DECTRIS has committed to keeping XDS completely free of charge for academic and non-profit research use. DECTRIS is removing the 12-month expiration constraint that previously forced academics to update their software. There will be a single version of XDS for both academic and proprietary use, which will be publicly downloadable upon registration. Academic users will enjoy unlimited free use. Furthermore, academic labs and beamlines that process data on behalf of commercial customers holding a valid XDS license will not need to purchase a separate license themselves. The company's backing transitions a historically single-developer academic codebase into a secured, corporate-supported framework. However, Wolfgang Kabsch and I keep working on XDS.

These centers house state-of-the-art instrumentation and computational infrastructure, including multiple 300 keV and 200 keV TEMs, cryo-FIB-SEMs, along with conventional and high-pressure vitrification equipment. The centers provide hands-on training for all new staff so they are subsequently empowered to train and support users across the entire experimental and computational cryo-EM/ET workflow. The centers also provide their staff with opportunities for co-authoring publications, presenting at conferences, obtaining grant-writing experience, along with gaining experience in user-facing scientific support.
