Now published!🚨 Well done @vanessaung.bsky.social 👏. We find that convergent evolution is behind the crosslinking ester bonds that protect bacterial adhesins from the hostility of their microenvironment! Fun collab. with Chris Squire🧪 @aucklanduni.bsky.social. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

In this evaluation of AlphaFold3 (and other methods), we show that (i) accurate predictions are limited to RNA structures/complexes with structural similarity to PDB and (ii) that current methods are bad at estimating the accuracy of the predictions. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Limits of deep-learning-based RNA prediction methods
Motivation: In recent years, tremendous advances have been made in predicting protein structures and protein-protein interactions. However, progress in predicting the structure of RNA, either alone or...

A fun and rewarding collaboration integrating #structuralBiology & #computatationalBiophysics!💥🥳 We show how bacteria can use protease mimicry to make adhesins resist hostile environments..😯convergent evolution shapes cross-species ester cross-linking chemistries?!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Protease mimicry: dissecting the ester bond crosslinking mechanics in bacterial adhesin proteins
The ester bond crosslink discovered within bacterial adhesin proteins offers a captivating insight into the convergent evolution of enzyme-like machinery. Crystal structures reveal a putative catalyti...

Happy for this being my first (re-)post on bsky 🙂!
Reminder that if disordered proteins are your thing, this starter pack exists (and I try to update it as best I can as new folks reach out/I see them!) 🍝
