Our featured structure article for February focuses on a flower that heralds the arrival of spring, and its toxic carbohydrate binding proteins. These molecules inspired this artwork by Beatrice Gibbons from @TheLeys (@leysbiotutor).

The PDBe team are proud to be involved in this incredible development of #AlphaFoldDB, taking the number of available predicted structures to over 200 million! #AlphaFold
DeepMind and EMBL-EBI have released the predicted structures of over 200 million proteins covering almost every organism that has had its genome sequenced.
These are now openly available to the scientific community via the AlphaFold Database.
