We are excited to host guest speaker Martin Beck Beck Laboratory who does amazing work on the nuclear pore complex in situ! Join us today in the Gorlaeus building room DM 1.19, at 15:30pm! NeCEN NEMI LeidenScience ENG

Glad that our sequence model of promoters in human genome is now published in Science Magazine. Check out the paper for a deep dive into the sequence basis of transcription initiation at the basepair level: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Beck Laboratory Max Planck Institute of Biophysics FIB-lamellae benchmarking study by Maarten Tuijtel et al. now out in Science Advances! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Finally- a book on cryo-electron tomography, written by leading experts! Edited by the one and only Friedrich Forster and myself! link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

Can Brain Science help us understand what Large Language Models have achieved? Thrilled to announce our symposium May 13+14 organized jointly by @mpibrain and @leopoldina . Live stream available via leopoldina.org/en/events/even… Exciting talks and panel discussion with 1/

Thrilled to announce AlphaFold 3 which can predict the structures and interactions of nearly all of life’s molecules with state-of-the-art accuracy including proteins, DNA and RNA. Biology is a complex dynamical system so modeling interactions is crucial blog.google/technology/ai/…

Open letter to the editor regarding #AlphaFold3 source code not being available: zenodo.org/records/112061…

A physical model for M1-mediated influenza A virus assembly. A combination of #cryoEM and theoretical modelling from Julia Peukes and Serge Dmitrieff. Preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Finally out Nature Communications. Congrats to Iskander Khusainov and coworkers! In collaboration with Typas Lab. EMBL @mpibp #teamtomo

We are excited to be opening 2 Ph.D. and 1 post-doc positions to work on cryo-EM and computational biology of plant protein complexes & their proteoforms (Projects A04, C04 and D01)! Visit snp2prot.uni-halle.de to be informed and apply ASAP! #SFB1664, headed by quintlab

Jan Ellenberg appointed Director for SciLifeLab! He is moving into his new responsibility from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL ) in Heidelberg (EMBL Heidelberg). He succeeds Professor Olli Kallioniemi, SciLifeLab Director since 2015. scilifelab.se/news/jan-ellen…

Incredibly proud of Matthias Mann for winning this year's Dr. H.P. Heineken Prize for Biochemistry and Biophysics together with Ruedi Aebersold! Their pioneering work has transformed protein research and is reshaping the future of biomedicine! #proteomics heinekenprizes.org/2024/06/11/rue…

We recently discovered a priority code in presequences of mitochondrial precursors. Some are much ‚stronger‘ than others because they specifically recruit Hsp90 cochaperones and make use of Tom70. Very unexpected, at least for us. You can read the preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
