Researchers - have you considered using engineered protein binders as an alternative to tradtional antibodies for Western blots, fluorescence microscopy, etc?
Interested in the practical barriers to general adoption of AI-engineered binders for research

Proud to share a new manuscript:
"Ensemble docking for intrinsically disordered proteins"
from @DartmouthChem undergrad Anjali Dhar 24' and grad student Tommy Sisk. We present ensemble docking strategies for IDPs that, remarkably, seem to work!

Today, I would like to honor the memory of Roger Y. Tsien, born on February 1, 1952. His legacy lives with all who use his technologies, including calcium sensors, fluorescent proteins, the acetoxymethyl (AM) ester, & many more!

If you had a study section or similar NIH travel canceled, or indeed if you have not, can you reply with the dates of the meeting and whether it's on or not? Would be good to get a sense of what time period this applies to for now (esp if NIH is muzzled and can't announce it...)
A flurry of scientific gatherings and panels across federal science agencies were canceled on Wednesday, at a time of heightened sensitivity about how the Trump administration will shift the agencies’… trib.al/GbxnMtw

Every synthetic biologist, every biochemist, when they dream, will sometimes hear a voice calling
A whisper on the wind, as impossible as infinity, as sweet as the ambrosia of the very Gods
"Engineer RuBisCo"
And this paper takes us one step closer

I'm very happy to announce that I have retired! I'm equally happy that @janetiwasa has agreed to continue the Molecule of the Month @buildmodels. Read about this at cdn.rcsb.org/rcsb-pdb/genera…

Today we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent antibody response against a pathogen. Could lead to topical vaccines that are applied in a cream. @DjenetBousbaine led the charge... @Nature 1/55

Can protein expression be "solved"? And how can we enable predictive design?

Here’s a great thread from @liwei_chang_ on #alphafold and the #proteinfoldingproblem. Thanks for sharing!
Did AlphaFold solve the protein folding problem? ...Not yet! AF2 predicts static structures, usually the native state by default. However, we found AF2 can generate structures aligning well with known folding intermediates. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @Al__Perez @UFChemistry 1/n
