Second, just out in @Nature: biochemistry + structure + separations = showing for the first time how biology discriminates between light and heavy rare earths, using a new lanmodulin. @psu_chemistry @doescience @CMI_hub @NSF

Just out @PNASNews, we characterize a new type of lanthanides-binding protein (a Ln chaperone) and engineer it for separations! Great work by Wyatt Larrinaga and Jonathan Jung, w/ my colleague Amie Boal! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… @psu_chemistry @PSUScience
