Can we leverage recent developments in machine-learning & protein design to tackle previously intractable challenges? The answer is yes and we show it in this study led by the one and only @Dr_MattMcCallum @HHMINEWS @UWBiochemistry 1/9 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Check out our pre-print describing a CCHFV glycoprotein complex in the pre-fusion conformation! We used several engineering tricks to design our final construct, GP38-GnH-DS-Gc. Great collaborative effort, led by graduate student @Eliza4Science! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

Excited to share the pre-print describing our efforts to stabilize the HCMV gB ectodomain in a prefusion-like conformation. We and others have now routinely stabilized class I viral fusion proteins, but class III viral fusogens have been more difficult.

TriPro doesn't quite have the same ring to it :)
Could be! Perhaps we ought to add Ce1176 to the panel next?

Haha thanks David! History often rhymes...
Delighted to have my 1st first-author paper @CellReports! High-res site Ø and V complexes. Plus, now includes structural mapping of two non-canonical sites at the trimer interface, which are preF targets but elicit low neut mAbs. Thanks to all involved! cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…
