quote:

Now, Amaro and her research colleagues from UC San Diego, University of Pittsburgh, University of Texas at Austin, Columbia University and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee have discovered how glycans—molecules that make up a sugary residue around the edges of the spike protein—act as infection gateways.

The spike’s coating of glycans helps deceive the human immune system since it comes across as nothing more than a sugary residue. Previous technologies that imaged these structures depicted glycans in static open or closed positions, which initially didn’t draw much interest from scientists. Supercomputing simulations then allowed the researchers to develop dynamic movies that revealed glycan gates activating from one position to another, offering an unprecedented piece of the infection story.

“We were actually able to watch the opening and closing,” said Amaro. “That’s one of the really cool things these simulations give you—the ability to see really detailed movies. When you watch them you realize you’re seeing something that we otherwise would have ignored. You look at just the closed structure, and then you look at the open structure, and it doesn’t look like anything special. It’s only because we captured the movie of the whole process that you actually see it doing its thing.”

The glycan gate opens: Supercomputing-driven simulations depict the glycan N343 (magenta) acting as a molecular crowbar to pry open the SARS-CoV-2 spike’s receptor binding domain, or RBD (cyan), from a “down” to an "up" position.

That and expect to start hearing “COVID is not an excuse” just like admin and politicians say “poverty is not an excuse for low test scores.”

Unless you have an incredibly powerful union, get out of teaching. It’s one of the best decisions I made in my life. No help is coming.

Two months into lockdown in NSW and now they introduce mandatory outdoor masking for the entire state. Up until now it was only mandatory outdoors for the 'LGAs of concern' and everyone else had to wear a mask in indoor public spaces and public transport.
Also lockdown extended until the end of September now, though I expect it won't end then either, it'll get extended again.

edit: also a 9pm-5am curfew for the hotspot areas and they'll only be allowed out for an hour a day.

It's like they forgot that part of the appeal of the series is that you're still watching a movie, not just layering 18 different riffs over 5 or 6 seconds of silence with no room to breathe

tbh mst3k ruined most of a generation of movie-watchers because after watching it they think they are comedic geniuses who need to make comments throughout every loving thing they watch.

Japanese friends are telling me Sonny Chiba refused to get vaccinated

Japan is surprisingly very vaccine hesitant, significantly more than the US

my cousin's 62 year old father in law, who is literally the head of a large hospital in a major Japanese city and has a MD from the best medical school in that country, refuses to get vaccinated

it's incredible

luckily it's been years since he's seen patients
