Does improving DFT calculations through empirical dispersion correction come at a price? In this #compchem study we examine the extent to which it compromises the underlying physics in order to achieve energetic reproducibility for certain systems 👇
After focusing on #manybody interactions & #delocalization errors in #DFT in the past, we explore the balance between physical interpretability & energetic predictability in dispersion-corrected functionals. Toward #RightAnswersForRightReasons 😎

I want to link to the fantastic coworkers (on twitter) that carried out the study @LyleMcPherson1 @chrisabella13 @rebeccawalxo @dallissergio @sunhee_bae_ @wesenerd_ @anthony_gaca @halim_mel @duganam @mike_wuo @sgbiochem @ejalm @TheXavierLab #glycotime
Check out the latest work from @ChemicalBiology
and the @KiesslingGroup, “Lectin-Seq: A method to profile lectin-microbe interactions in native communities", recently published in @ScienceAdvances!

It may come as a surprise how little scientists understand about the intricacies of host-microbe interactions in your oral cavity. Researchers including Professors Barbara Imperiali and Laura Kiessling (@ChemicalBiology) are trying to change that.

Excited to share the highlight of our recent publication (pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22…) at the Kudos Research Showcase! Check this if you want to learn about useful tools to know your oral health better! #glycotime #PublicationHighlight growkudos.com/publications/1…
All thanks to @MITBiology for sharing this story to the community! Honored to be a part of this challenging project. #glycotime
Everything you breathe, chew, or drink interacts with your oral cavity—the proteins and the microbes, including microbes that can harm us. In a study recently published by PNAS, a collaborative effort expands our understanding of oral cavity homeostasis biology.mit.edu/probe-expand…

💧💧#SALIVA💧💧 Fresh off the press. ZG16B, an abundant protein in saliva got its function revealed. Very glad, @Ruhl_Lab could contribute to this study with @sgbiochem, Barbara Imperiali’s lab, @KiesslingGroup, @CLGrimesLab, and Hervé Tettelin. #glycotime

Thrilled for this to finally be out! Huge shout out to all of our collaborators on this, but especially @sgbiochem for her amazing work on this project. This was my first project when I started at MIT, I'm lucky to have had the opportunity to work with such an awesome team!
What does the most abundant human lectin (ZG16B) in our mouths bind? @ScienceMIT study spearheaded by @sgbiochem finds it interacts with common commensals (+an oral mucin). Such a fun collaboration of @KiesslingGroup, Imperiali, and Ruhl groups pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22… #glycotime

Could human oral lectin ZG16B be the missing link in our understanding of the oral microbiome? Tried to unlock its role in regulating microbial growth and promoting balance. Honored to be a part of team Imperiali lab @KiesslingGroup @Ruhl_Lab @CLGrimesLab tinyurl.com/2ujr4xhm

Congrats to Imperiali lab postdoc Soumi Ghosh and her PhD mentor Neil Marsh @MichiganChem on their new @jbiolchem paper! They review the structure and catalytic activity of the viperin enzyme, which plays an important role in the innate immune response: bit.ly/33WpBTf
