The August issue of Structural Biology Communications is out! tinyurl.com/2b8zfvan The cover shows the crystal structure of the 3C protease from Coxsackievirus B4, which may guide the design of broad-spectrum inhibitors of enteroviruses tinyurl.com/38nvt5rs

Our Section Editor Mark van Raaij discusses the publication of useful practical knowledge as Topical Reviews and Methods Communications in Structural Biology Communications and invites  your to share your own 'tips and tricks'! IUCr doi.org/10.1107/S20532…

A good read: Tips for shipping research samples to a core facility for structural analysis😀😀doi.org/10.1107/S20532… Structural Biology Communications IUCr #crystallography #education

Guidelines are provided for shipping biomacromolecular samples, with the hope that the time and energy invested in sample preparation is not lost due to shipping logistics. @Ubuffalo IUCr #ShippingBiomacromolecules #StructuralBiology #CryoEM doi.org/10.1107/S20532…

Three crystal structures of two NAD(P)H nitroreductases from Klebsiella pneumoniae  are presented and an analysis of their structures and their flavin mononucleotide-binding mode is provided. IUCr #Nitroreductase #SSGCID #StructuralGenomics doi.org/10.1107/S20532…
