This cryptic pocket has a function! The VP35 protein from Ebola virus performs multiple functions. We wanted to know if it toggles between different conformations that are responsible for different functions. It does! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congrats to Upasana Mallimadugula, Matthew A Cruz, PhD, Neha Vithani, and Maxwell Zimmerman on the great work! Thanks to ASoranno for helpful input. And many thanks to all the citizen scientists from Folding@home who helped run the simulations that guided our work!

BBSB had a fantastic evening of food and lawn games the other night at our 2024 Welcome BBQ! It was great to get students and faculty together for a fun time to kick off the year -- thank you to everyone who contributed to the event!

We are happy to announce that Rhythmidia, a modern tool for analyzing circadian phenotypes in race tube assays, is out in PLOS Comp Biol. Led by the talented Alex Keeley!! doi.org/10.1371/journa… (fig1) 🧵1/6
