Not to shamelessly self-promote, but this first article in the series goes into a little more depth on the topic. It's cited in the new one but I'll leave it here too 🙂https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/alphafold3-best-practices-how-analyze-interpret-af3-jacob-wolfe-5eute

Excellent question! So the term "peptide" is defined by sequence length generally <50 aa's, regardless of structure. Miniproteins have a discreet tertiary folded structure, so they can place sidechains in 3D space more like a protein and less like a peptide flexible. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....
Miniprotein Design: Past, Present, and Prospects
ConspectusThe design and study of miniproteins, that is, polypeptide chains <40 amino acids in length that adopt defined and stable 3D structures, is resurgent. Miniproteins offer possibilities for re...

@blackinbiophys.bsky.social If you're looking for researchers with a good social media presence (and if Biophysicists are chemists -definitely depends on who you ask)

So like, if I write something and use ChatGPT to edit it for like grammar and punctuation like I would use MicrosoftWord that's not protected?

I've run that through one of those "Is this AI generated?" checkers before and it gives a low confidence that it is
