The Trees Are Speaking, on Earth Day and Every Day

1 day ago | psychologytoday.com | Rachel Clark

The trees are telling us that the forests we've created through years of mismanagement can't coexist with us. We can reset our relationship with forests, moving from commodification to respect and reciprocity. In caring for our forests, we care for ourselves. As a Pacific Northwest-based writer who reveres the ancient connection between salmon and resident orca, I consider Lynda Mapes' body of work a vital contribution toward healing our PNW ecosystem.
Rapid dissemination of host metabolism–manipulating genes via integrative and conjugative elements | Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Mechanism of proton-powered c-ring rotation in a mitochondrial ATP synthase | Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Mar 7, 2024 | pnas.org | Rachel Clark |Julia S Wellner |Claus-Dieter Hillenbrand |Florian E. C

SignificanceAdenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of living cells, is synthesized by ATP synthase. We show how the membrane potential created by oxidizing food stuff in mitochondria drives the directional rotary motion of this enzyme complex. From molecular dynamics simulations, we determine the free energy surfaces for the rotation of its membrane-anchored c-ring in different protonation states.
Machine learning to predict continuous protein properties from binary cell sorting data and map unseen sequence space | Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Mar 7, 2024 | pnas.org | Rachel Clark |Julia S Wellner |Claus-Dieter Hillenbrand |Rebecca Totten

SignificanceWe demonstrate that, surprisingly, information obtained from simple sorting experiments coupled with linear machine learning models consistently predicts continuous protein properties across multiple protein engineering tasks.
