The GCN4 leucine zipper coiled coil (PDB ID 1ZIK​), the origin of my username and which I cannot confirm nor deny to be my actual identity.

Hello! Apparently I've been on Wikipedia since 2009? Time is fake.

(As of August 2022) I don't do a lot of dedicated editing anymore. Most of my contributions these days are WikiGnome type fixes on articles I happen to be reading.

I've been a PhD student in biophysics since 2019, studying protein folding and allostery. For that reason I have particular expertise in protein-/biochem-related pages, but my edits are certainly not limited to these fields.

Because of my sporadic activity levels, my talk page might not get responded to very quickly, but I'll get to it eventually!
