Beyond high affinity binders.
Sort of current dream in #structuralbio: A ligand binding to a protein with high affinity at a single site.
As a microscopist, I'd rather be interested in cooperative avidity binding (2+ low affinity binding sites at the target protein).
Are there tools to design that?

Using #LLMs for science👨‍💻💬? We have a fun tool for you: introducing #folder2md4llms. It converts an entire folder of docs/code/pdfs/pptx into a single markdown file that you can upload to your chatbot of choice. We use it to talk with our publications database or code repos

Will have the chance to visit @ebi.embl.org in the 2nd half of October ths year. Whom I can contact to talk about inSi generation of low affinity peptide binders of protein of interest? (cooperative binding with >2 binding sites). Interested in an alternative to Abs.

A new ultra-flat metalens, just one micron thick, enables high-quality, full-color imaging with large apertures, offering significant size and weight reductions for cameras and imaging systems. doi.org/g9bmxx
Ultra-flat optic pushes beyond what was previously thought possible
Cameras are everywhere. For over two centuries, these devices have grown increasingly popular and proven to be so useful, they have become an indispensable part of modern life.

I have read few papers as immediately useful and important as this one on Cacio e Pepe phase behavior.

Tl;dr: the starchy pasta water is absolutely critical to avoiding “mozzarella phase”

For tasks like this one, LLMs are unbearable. Of note: it's getting way easier to do science in industry than in academia.

Thrilled to share the first story from my postdoc! 🎉 A wonderful experiment + simulations collaboration. In the Drosophila wing, we find that 3D cell shapes affect signalling range and fine-tune developmental patterning www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Thread below ⬇️

and how do organoids "behave"? do they also pulse when growing?
Very happy that the first article from my postdoc work in the Tomancak lab is now published @PNAS! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/.... We studied the self-organization of actin in aggregates made from Hydra cells. Thread below (1/9)

Curious examples in the thread
Biologist folk (especially in evolutionary biology and/or ecology, but it don’t matter):

Can you give me your favorite examples of trade offs in biology? Organism or system don’t matter. Primary literature or reviews preferred.
