Wow, I'm still a bit amazed that everything worked out just as planned. Arrived at the hotel around midnight. Looking forward to a great #CCP4SW
Due to the strikes in the UK, traveling to the #ccp4sw is a bit more challenging this year, than it used to be. Currently on the train to Cologne. From there to Brussels, London (via Eurostar) and finally by bus to Nottingham. ETA: 11.30 pm.

A good illustration of how "Asymmetric Unit" is relevant just to a crystal and not a molecule.

#AlphaFold #AI with #Phenix #PredictAndBuild makes #Crystallography easier: All you need is your #Xray data and a sequence file.

#AlphaFold2 generates a #hypothesis, #PredictAndBuild compares it to the data, improves it and feeds it back to #AlphaFold2 to create a better #hypothesis.

(Fully automatic. Requires current nightly build of #Phenix from https://phenix-online.org)

Hello there. #neuhier 👋

I think this is probably one of the coolest things we're doing on the #beamline. We use a droplet injector to fire picolitres of liquid at our fixed target mounts (which contain thousands of #protein #crystals). We then collect #diffraction data a different delay times so we can make a #MolecularMovie of the reaction happening in real time.

The video is from a fast camera and is slowed down 75 times and the picture shows the actual setup.

If you download your #Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.

So here's a #Python script to convert a Twitter archive to #markdown or other formats: https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser

Now you can archive your tweets in any way you want.
