🚀 Excited to share that our article with @ezgikaraca.bsky.social is now published in Communications Biology!

In this study, we explored DNA readout rules of almost identical DNMT3A and DNMT3B (91% sequence similarity!), and we asked: how can nearly the same proteins “see” DNA so differently? 🧬✨

We just bumped into something very preliminary… but very exciting:

AF2.3 and AF3.0 distograms may potentially reproduce MD-like behavior.

Until we do further tests, you can reach our early insights at www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🚨 Super excited for our new preprint on flexibility cues in AlphaFold!

Together with @ezgikaraca.bsky.social and @aysebercinb.bsky.social, we found that distograms of AF2.3 and AF3 mirror MD sampling by predicting the extent of a novel conformational change! 🤯

A small reminder to all structural biologists around working on biomolecular complexes: please consider sharing your complexes as targets for CAPRI - AI has not solved all structure prediction problems and there are still challenges! See www.capri-docking.org/contribute/

We want awe. We want discovery. And we want them now!

Huge thanks to Itai and Martin for the most enjoyable lecture on Night Science — a reminder that opennes lie at the heart of discovery!

This week's #SustainableTipTuesday is about computation - did you know there is a version of AlphaFold that uses 95% less energy than the regular version? Take a look below💡 #greenlabs
Inspired by Wallner's AFsample approach, @busrasavas.bsky.social's MinnieFold produced good quality antibody-antigen models even with 95% reduced sampling over CAPRI55 targets.

Just accepted in Proteins!

Super proud to have been listed as one of the successful groups in predicting the structure of an antibody-peptide during @capridock.bsky.social's 55th round! This was our first attempt in CAPRI as the Karaca team with @busrasavas.bsky.social @iremylmazbilek.bsky.social @atakanozsan 💪
