We had an amazing time with the ABC family and already miss you all! Can’t wait to hear your exciting talks, have great discussions, and hit the slopes of the Alps again. #ABC2025

See you next time!🗻⛷️🚠🧬🧫🧪💙

Taking stock with Karl Kuchler.

The incomparable Richard Callaghan introducing the perspective lecturer Karl Kuchler
😅😅😅😅😅

We are all the same super family 🥰

Perfection.

Don‘t mix Jena with Vienna!
Ute @hellmichgroup.bsky.social is revealing the mystery of allosteric nucleotide sensing in ABC transporters at #ABC2025

Christian @chrisfrankhauser.bsky.social takes us back into the plant world and the fierce fight for sunlight 🌿🌞
After some decapitation of those poor plants, he also managed to majorly confuse an ABCG5 transporter 🤣

@hellmichgroup.bsky.social rocks again!

Rachelle @rachellegaudet.bsky.social shares her personal ABC journey and leads us into the exciting world of microbial natural products. 🦠
Thes can be super dangerous for their producers, but peptidases and ABCs come to the rescue! 🦸‍♂️

Now we are moving into the plant world 🌿
Arabidopsis alone has 130 ABCs, a third of which are ABCGs... 😍
Peng Zhang presenting on the magical amd mysterious world of plant hormone transport

Arne @arnemoeller.bsky.social introducing the speakers of the morning session with a great reminder of why controls matter!

Take away:
Worms on the grid?
Maybe your protein is not it! 🐛🤣

Oded Lewinson is not counting peas, he's counting proteins 🧮
Turns out having a LOT doesn't necessarily get you MORE out of it

Dirk Slotboom @membraneenzymology.bsky.social has a transporter that walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, but is certainly not a duck... 🦆

ABC2025 on the slopes again! Getting fit for the evening session! 🏂🚠⛷️

Hassane Mchaourab has an identity crisis 🤣
Lucky for him, he's not even a "real" structural biologist but rather uses EPR spectroscopy to watch the ins and outs of ATP, lipid and drug binding to BmrCD

Markus from @seegerlab.bsky.social wakes us up with a fresh take on metal metabolism in Mycobacteria... So you think you have an exporter on your hands? Make sure it doesn't import instead - no iron(y) 😁

Now at the "Meet the speakers at the bar" session...

"Some scientists search for a solution to a problem and then move on, other will just keep digging". meeting organizer Gergely Szakacs about our evening plenary speaker, who will talk about a channel at a transporter meeting 😉
#CFTR #ABC2025

Michael Gottesmann from NIH now presenting remotely at #ABC2025.
We miss our friends from across the pond 😪🧪

Thank you to everyone in the science community who is doing their very best, in small and big ways to stand together 💔

ABC2025 on the slopes!!! That's where the best collaboration are formed!!!

Domt forget the pathogens! 🦠
Next talk by Katarina Mikusova on ABC transporters building the mycobacterial envelope...
Did you know that the mycobacterial cell wall is classified as neither gram-positive nor gram-nehative, but is its own beautiful beast?
#ABC2025

Maria Zoghbi says she's in "ABC transporter heaven" at #ABC2025 🥰

A closer look at ABCB10 transporter dynamics may well keep you on cloud number nine... ☁️⭐️

Now zooming in on the lipids with "computational microscopy"!
💻🔬
Emad Tajkhorshid uses MD simulations to investigate the conformational changes of ABC transporters in a sea of lipids 🏝

And now back to the membrane 😍
Maofu Liao on the ins and out of specific and polyspecific substrate by ABC transporters #ABC2025

It's ABC protein, NOT transporter! We are an inclusive bunch! ❤️
Gregory Boel introducing the morning speakers! #ABC2025
