AlphaFold DB v6 is here! 🚀
Heads up on key updates:
🔹 Website now only serves v6
🔹 New URL format!!
🔹 Dual API active for 9 months (retirement: 25-06-2026)

Use the AlphaFold API for reliable access. Time to update those bookmarks & scripts!
📣Important update for #AlphaFold API users! New API fields launched on October 7th, 2025. We’ll maintain BOTH fields until June 25, 2026! Check the docs! 🔗

🚀 Introducing fully automated data processing for repeat-target #cryoEM.

Using new tools in #CryoSPARC, it is now possible to obtain resolutions & map quality equal to or better than manual processing, with zero user intervention.

It is my pleasure to invite you to the upcoming Kroese-Duijsters Symposium at Leiden University on 17th November. We have a great lineup of speakers covering time-resolved X-ray crystallography, time-resolved cryo-EM, microED, and AI approaches including a talk from DeepMind.

Very much looking forward visiting the Kostenis group at the University of Bonn over the next two days.

Earlier this year, with Google DeepMind, we held the AlphaFold Education Summit to increase and strengthen global capacity through train-the-trainer sessions & the co-development of further #AlphaFold training.

Now, we can share the free course materials with you: www.ebi.ac.uk/training/mat...

Today I am looking forward to the Oncode Accelerator Annual Event where I give the talk „Accelerated Structure-Based Drug Discovery: How Cryo-EM unlocks Molecular Mechanisms“.

Had a great time at the first @sbgrid.bsky.social workshop in Europe last week at Amazon Barcelona. Great people, good food and I learned a lot about using AWS for Cryo-EM data processing.

Happy to join bluesky.
My lab uses structural biology to investigate GPCRs. Specifically, we are interested in chemokine receptors and 1) how differences in ligand interactions leads to pathway-selective signaling, as well as 2) allosteric modulation via the intracelluar allosteric binding site.
