Delighted to share our paper on the selective degradation of aggregated tau. JoJo Benn and Shi Cheng used nanobodies against tau, and fused them to the catalytic RING domain of clustering-activated E3 ligase TRIM21 to create R-Nb science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Interesting news from the Chinese PaddlePaddle. In a preprint, they report a successful replication of #AlphaFold3, including nucleic acids and ligands, namely HelixFold3. It's completely open-source and accessible via GitHub github.com/PaddlePaddle/P…

Reconstructing virus evolutionary history is hard! Structural prediction and phylogenetics can help👍 Check out our new study out in nature nature.com/articles/s4158… University of Sydney Sydney Health

Very happy to have this one published in nature today!! 🤩🤩 Can we dig deeper into the intricate and ancient evolutionary history of the flaviviridae by comparing not only genetic sequence but also protein structure? answer is yes!! nature.com/articles/s4158…

We’re presenting AlphaProteo: an AI system for designing novel proteins that bind more successfully to target molecules. 🧬 It could help scientists better understand how biological systems function, save time in research, advance drug design and more. 🧵 dpmd.ai/3XuMqbX

Fantastic 2 days of virus research discussions as well as a fun rodeo at the MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research PI retreat! 🦠🤠🫏🧲😂

We are pleased to announce the release of The Protein Design Archive.
