We're going to start using this space to post our latest BioRxiv preprints (marked in purple). It takes so long to go through the journal system. Might as well post them here in the meantime.

Sameena Shah's rotation project, that over a year and a half morphed into a method to study H-bonds in protein structures and unfolding intermediates.

93) Rua, A.J., & Alexandrescu A. T. (2026) “Solution structure of the novel CH-domain zinc finger from the puberty regulator makorin-3", BBRC 811, 153579.
