This project was started 20 years ago!! But we did some other things along the way for the past two decades. Diana was my first undergraduate research student at UConn. Twenty years later she's the CEO of her own company!  It was kind of hard to get ahold of her, to let her know about the manuscript. It was based on her undergrad thesis. I was looking at her thesis and thought: 'hey, this would make a nice straightforward publication'.

 

81) Rua, A.J., Whitehead, R. 3rd,  & Alexandrescu, A.T (2023) “NMR structure verifies the eponymous zinc finger domain of transcription factor ZNF750”, J Struct Biol X 8, article 100093.

Andrei thinks this is some of our lab’s best work and is one of his favorite papers!  Read the paper, and please cite it if you find it useful!
