New cocktail 🍹 in town - in collaboration with @benlehner.bsky.social : Massive combinatorial mutagenesis + amyloid kinetics selection + thermodynamic modelling showing us the portrait 🎨 of an amyloid transition state. Read about it in this great thread:
Alzheimer’s disease 🧠starts with a molecular domino effect - but what triggers the first piece to fall?
In our new study we cracked open the black box of early protein aggregation, and the findings could reshape how we fight neurodegeneration. 🧵👇

Massively parallel genetic perturbation suggests the energetic structure of an amyloid-β transition state
The aggregation rates of >140,000 mutants reveal the energetic structure of an amyloid-β nucleation reaction transition state.

The Mutational Scanning Symposium just began! 💫🔬

Eperts in the fields of functional genomics, protein science, precision medicine, variant interpretation, and computational genetics provide insights on the future of this science.
