Delighted to announce @tlhr.bsky.social, @g-heller.bsky.social and I are building the UK’s first FRO @bindresearch.org with the goal of making disordered proteins druggable. Interested in doing breakthrough open science in an innovative organisation in Central London? We’d love to hear from you!

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere.
The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back.
A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year.
Fiat lux!

We did this crazy project where we tried to see if proteins could interact with their mirror image ligand. Seems impossible when proteins need to form 3D structures to interact. But what about if the interaction remains disordered???

Stereochemistry in the disorder–order continuum of protein interactions - Nature
Studies on protein–protein interactions using proteins containing d- or l-amino acids show that stereoselectivity of binding varies with the degree of disorder within the complex.
