ICYMI: New Online! Regulation of RNA transcript elongation in metazoans and its relevance to disease
We are excited to share two preprints reporting a mosquito-specific receptor for chikungunya virus and other alphaviruses! 🤩 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... @harvardmicro.bsky.social @harvardvirology.bsky.social @hhmi-science.bsky.social
Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.
New @talusbio.bsky.social #AI preprint just dropped 🚀 Meet Ptarmigan-1. It predicts which small molecules bind a protein, and which residues they hit, from sequence and 2D chemistry alone. No structures, no docking, no poses. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Time for a 🧵 (1/13)
Now out as a perspective in PLOS Biology. Where next for structural bioinformatics? journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
Where next for structural bioinformatics?Structural bioinformatics aims to answer biological questions by considering biomolecular structures at scale. This Perspective argues that now that we have accurate predictions, we need to ask what w...journals.plos.orgJoe GreenerI wrote a blog post about the future of structural bioinformatics. Where to go after AlphaFold? How do we avoid the field becoming a load of half-baked LLMs? Let me know what you think. jgreener64.github.io/posts/struct...
New work from the Gygi and Cantley labs @harvardcellbio.bsky.social provides a unique structure-based protein kinase specificity atlas across the human proteome. An exciting resource for biological discovery! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Huge congrats to the many authors who over MANY years worked on this (but especially @karaehunt.bsky.social , @trevorbrandt.bsky.social, Karina, @shaharsu.bsky.social and @remenecker.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
New (well, very old, but 100% updated) preprint: Rational design of disordered proteins for systematic sequence-to-function investigation Work done in collaboration with @shaharsu.bsky.social lab - check out the three (3) threads from the folks who did the work!
Latest preprint on AlphaFold potential and limitations. We look in particular at the addition of ions to models.
