Exciting times ahead!

Today marks the first day of the Loeff Lab at Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands 🇳🇱. I’m thrilled to begin this new adventure and continue exploring microbial defense mechanisms and their applications through an integrative structural biology approach.

We have written up a tutorial on how to run BindCraft, how to prepare your input PDB, how to select hotspots, and various other tips and tricks to get the most out of binder design!

New blog post!
In it, I benchmark the new version of Dorado from @nanoporetech.com, which comes with new DNA basecalling models. Short version: big accuracy gains for hac, small improvements for sup.
Check it out for the full results:

A long post about what’s happening to the science funding agencies in the US and why. As mentioned, this one just kept getting longer even as I kept stripping curse words from it.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2024
Congratulations to David Baker, who was recognized for computational protein design, and to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper, who were recognized for protein structure prediction. These achievements also celebrate the work of the PDB depositor community and the PDB archive that underpinned development of their prediction methods.
