1/6 One of the key features of functional proteins is their inherent structural flexibility. In our recent work at #ICML, we introduce flexibility to protein structure design! More in a thread below.

Protein function often depends on protein dynamics. To design proteins that function like natural ones, how do we predict their dynamics?

@hkws.bsky.social and I are thrilled to share the first big, experimental datasets on protein dynamics and our new model: Dyna-1!

Hi all! Inspired by how easy ColabFold ( @sokrypton.org ) made prot structure prediction for me, I have started ColabRNA to facilitate making predictions with RNA-based models!

Currently, the following models are available:
- SpliceAI
- Pangolin
- SpliceTransformer
- Borzoi

Happy to get feedback!

LLMs are the LEAST valuable AI model FWIW. Their ability to interface verbally with humans confuses people into thinking that the computer is thinking.

Compare that to the Nobel Prize winning AI model behind AlphaFold for predictive protein modeling.
