Fold first, ask later: structure-informed function annotation of Pseudomonas phage proteins
Phages, the viruses of bacteria, harbor an incredibly diverse repertoire of proteins capable of manipulating their bacterial hosts, inspiring many medical and biotechnological applications. However, t...

Hip hip hooray: our #PTM conservation tool FLAMS turns 1 🎂

To celebrate, we have added handy new features to FLAMS web, incl. 3D visualization of hit proteins & PTM sites with known active/binding sites.

Come check it out @ tinyurl.com/flamsweb & let us know what you think!
