New online: When cryo-EM modeling meets structure prediction
When cryo-EM modeling meets structure prediction
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, Published online: 23 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41594-026-01744-4Accurately interpreting density maps into atomic models is a central yet challenging goal of cryo-EM. Two studies now reveal distinct ways in which protein structure prediction can be incorporated into cryo-EM model building to enable more accurate and robust automated construction of protein atomic models from density maps.

Excited to share our new preprint! and the surprising finding that the second integrin-binding site (IBS2) does not bind integrin.
IBS2 can be better explained as talin-talin interactions mediated via a cryptic talin-binding site in R11.
We also show a new role for vinculin as a mechano-chaperone
