Excited to share our work on modeling the human protein interactome in 3D. This currently includes 1,394 interaction structures predicted with Boltz-2. Grateful for the open-access resources making this possible!

State of the art!
Exciting to see our protein binder design pipeline BindCraft published in its final form in @Nature ! This has been an amazing collaborative effort with Lennart, Christian, @sokrypton.org, Bruno and many other amazing lab members and collaborators.

Eat your carrots or you'll go blind! The biochemical reason for this warning is that we need retinal, vitamin A, to form the pigment that absorbs light in our eyes.

Excited to share a new article I co-authored on the relationship between biological sequence and structure! We look back to historic hypotheses, and look forward to how AI/ML models may be developed to predict protein conformational dynamics. Paper: doi.org/10.1063/4.00...

Hemoglobin, the biomolecule that breathes, modeled with Boltz-2.

With the recent release of #Boltz2, I gave it a try for modeling hemoglobin. Hemoglobin structures were likely included for training, and this was just a fun test, but it’s awesome to see this modeling in action!

Truly remarkable work. Looking forward to using it!
Excited to unveil Boltz-2, our new model capable not only of predicting structures but also binding affinities! Boltz-2 is the first AI model to approach the performance of FEP simulations while being more than 1000x faster! All open-sourced under MIT license! A thread… 🤗🚀

Dynamic insight into DNA → RNA → protein. Great work!
First paper of our lab today @natureportfolio.bsky.social by Nussi!

We provide a real-time movie on how #transcription and #translation cooperate using #single-molecule FM: we find long-range #ribosome/ RNAP communication mediated by #RNA looping!

Creative use of AlphaFold for predicting oligomeric states of proteins, nice work.

AlphaFold can be used to predict the oligomeric states of proteins
Homooligomerisation is a prevalent and important process that many proteins undergo to form the quaternary structure required to carry out their biological functions. However, determining the oligomer...
